High Voltage Trouble Shooting

Unfortunately I do not have a spare yoke so I'll have to wait for an exact replacement to test with.

Having trouble finding an exact replacement yoke and managed to find a 90 degree yoke to test with. If I use it as a temporary testing tool do I have to connect both horizontal AND vertical on it or can I leave vertical connected to the old yoke (still in place) and just connect the horizontal to the new yoke (sitting on the bench)?
