I don't know if my yoke is "standard" or not. Should I post a pic with the yoke cover removed? Alternatively, what about wrapping the neck with tape to give it a tighter fit? It seems like that could be the easiest solution, with the obvious condition that it could still be jarred out of place. I've seen I think both TV's and arcade monitors with cloth tape on the necks (not as the sole means of securing the yokes obviously). If so, would there be any concern of the type of tape used due to heat, conductivity, etc.? I think all I've got at home currently is duct tape and blue painter's tape so if the choice was irrelevant I'd probably just wrap it with the painter's tape, but I don't want to discover later on that it was a bad idea.
Your input and advice is appreciated. I'm really loving the learning in this hobby.

For a cover you need the diameter and the CRT diameter. They usually
clip on with a few tabs, you may have to mod that ? You can also look
for a 3 or 4 digit EIA number on the yoke, that tells who made it.
Its often combined with other numbers/letters for date code,
part number etc....
Tape I have seen usually on Jap & ROK sets is cloth. Cloth black
tape may be OK. I dont know why its there, for friction ?
Most sets dont have it.
BTW some in-line CRT's have a strip magnet around the neck.
Do not remove !
