Well I've made some progress.
Some time ago I tried the set with an external HV supply I made for another purpose. During and after that I the original yoke confirmed it's defectiveness by smoking a bit and heating up.
Today I made a significant step towards getting it working. I parted out a 17" split chassis Philco set whose cabinet was a bit too rough to be worth the effort to deal with. In addition to many good parts the set had what appears to be the same CRT as my RCA and the Philco jug tests MUCH better than the dying RCA CRT. The Philco yoke also seems to work okay in the RCA so I'm going to use those parts to get the RCA going.
Some time in the next few weeks I should be able put together in enough 'a couple of minutes here and there' work to get it running properly.
