OK, I got the yoke off and managed to get it apart following the old Shango video. He says that he's repaired 3 1077s with bad vertical windings, and says you have to look for the "green", where there is a little spot of corrosion. The one he repairs in the video has a clearly broken wire right under the spot. Wire reattached, and the device works again.

My yoke had an identical green corrosion spot in exactly the same place as the Shango video, but the wire is intact. In fact I've spent the last hour with my 3.5x goggles going over every part of this yoke and can't find any broken/corroded wire. Verified that the winding measures 1.2M.

A couple of questions: first, shouldn't it measure open? What's going on there?

And second, how does one go about finding the point of failure? I'm pretty sure it's not on the surface. Are yoke windings interchangeable to the point that I might be able to pull one (either a yoke or another winding) off of another set? I guess it would have to be one with a really narrow deflection angle...

Thanks everyone.
