This was a common ocurrence with these yokes from the 50's & 60's. the material used to make this plastic like cover would deteriorate because of heat. the deflection yoke should be Ok. the problem with these plastic covers is that they also hold the centering rings in place. when the plastic cover deteriorates, you will not have any way to center the picture.
