Thanks Monte! I read this and it seems that the Philips yoke is different. Huge pieces of metal that are already glued in place. Lots of epoxy all over. I will take the yoke off and spray the inside windings with lacquer - As some have done with these - Well, actually a couple guys claim that dipping it in lacquer will do the job. Too messy!
