'70 RCA CTC38 20" console

I'm finally getting around to posting about the '70 RCA CTC38 20" console that I brought back from SC. This set does power up with HV and a picture; but, it is very out of focus and it has vertical issues. Also, the yoke housing has come loose from the CRT. In these sets, the only thing holding the yoke housing to the CRT is some adhesive blocks and those have come loose with age. What would be a good thing, in today's world, to use to secure the yoke housing to the CRT? Looking at the chassis, I can see that it has been used and some tubes have been replaced; but, it's not near as dirty as most other RCA's that I've seen from this era. Looking inside the HV cage, it appears that the flyback was replaced, as the transformer and it's wiring is much cleaner than the rest of the set. This one should be an easy restoration once I get started on it. Since this set has a hang tag with a price still attached to the knobs; I figure that this set was either a demo model that was turned on during store hours or it was a used set that they were trying to sell.
