Hi Robert, the last time we communicated was five years ago. I have added your cabinet serial number to the Living CT-100 list. You are correct, nothing damaged your yoke cover -- unless you consider time and temperature. If your set had been in a controlled environment for its 58 years, perhaps it would match the quality that the rest of your set seems to be, as viewed in your posted pictures. I know of only one pristine plastic cover that exists. BTW when the crumbling cover is removed it exposes live terminals around the perimeter of the yoke. Take care to keep clear when the set is under power.
