Rca 21D641 HV issue.

Before you assume your current yoke is beyond repair, how about trying to repair it first? I’ve seen yokes before that had some corrosion on the copper wires near where they join to the solder lugs, and a cold solder joint isn’t outside the realm of possibility either. Poke around, not like you have anything to lose at this point.

The windings that fit on the tube neck have an area of corrosion and I believe i see a broken wire and almost all the varnish on those windings are gone so its shorting too. Its dead.
