Yes, the burned-up filter choke and the shorted yoke -- fond memories! I was lucky enough to find replacement parts on eBay.
I also had to replace a cheap socket that failed by arcing between the pins. My 810 works well now, but I can't say I was very impressed with the overall build quality.
It's great that you were able to repair your yoke. It may outlast any of the originals out there.
