Anyway, after recapping it and checking all resistors and replacing any that were out of tolerance I applied power and found I have a short on the B+ line. It turned out to be a short (10 ohms) between the horizontal winding in the yoke and ground. So either I have to figure out how to rewind this strange thing or find a replacement. Does anyone have a good yoke you want to sell?

So your the reason that one from Indiana is no longer available... I was going to offer them a cnote if it stayed up longer...given that set was missing it's CRT and that a complete one auctioned for less than 300 at the last radiofest meet the 400 they were asking was way too much.
