Your description of the yoke sounds typical-the plastic they used deteriorated and falls apart. Real common on fifties sets. It can be a problem sometimes depending on how they are mounted. Shouldn't effect anything electrically.

Those knobs usually have a small metal spring where they snap on the shaft and often they go missing. Not too hard to make up a replacement.

I can echo what others will say: these are usually easy sets to bring back to life. Simple designs, but not too simple.
