Anyway on the yoke how is the best way to stabilize it? Could a person find a plastic jug or something and make it fit in the place of the old plastic? This gives me hope I can fix it. Buy the way the chassis is 16c21.
You may be able to find something like a 2L soda bottle for the side material. People have made yoke back covers too. I haven't found the side housing necessary on Zenith's as the bracketry prevents touching anything you shouldn't touch. The easiest rear housing I've found is stealing one from the yoke of a newer junk set...I've encountered enough bad yokes I've put a couple such covers aside for the future.
