Motorola 12T2 Restoration Restart

This Motorola 12T2 is my family's first television set. I spent many hours sitting in front of this set, learning about life from Howdy Doody and Captain Video.



A few years ago, starting at electronic ground zero, this was my first project. I had a pair of dull wire cutters that could only crush wire; an analog volt-ohm meter that didn't quite work; a soldering iron that couldn't melt butter; and a lot of guidance from Phil Nelson. After several months of work, I was stopped by a bad deflection yoke.

Now, with a little more experience and a great deal more equipment, I've finally picked up a replacement yoke and I want to restart the project. The first issue is, "Do I have the right yoke?" The only difference I can see is the resistance across the coils.



Can I go ahead with this yoke?
