RCA 14-S-7070U With a crumbling yoke

[mpatoray]

Hi all,

I would like to start on this neat little set after i am done with my Philco 50-T1406. The problem is unlike the Philco the yoke is not on a plug and the yoke has to be removed to remove the chassises form the CRT to replace the caps etc.. Now this yoke is crumbling apart and i am looking for ideas on how to stabilize/fix it.

The set itself is in good shape and does work to a point... I need to test the CRT but the picture has good contrast and brightness, I am also going to repaint the plain great metal cabinet in something a bit more "50's" Im thinking something like a Red/White two-tone with the red being like the one used by Plymouth on the 1958 Furry.
