I'm having that exact problem with my 8" RCA right now. It started pulling in from the right side. I thought it was the horizontal output tube but it wasn't. One of the centering rings had slipped off of the yoke cover because it is warped. I can't find a new yoke so I am trying to buy a complete set to salvage for parts. So far, that's the only weakness I've found with these sets. Rebuilt yoke covers for this model may become about as sought after as the rubber masks on the 7" Motorolas.
