The silicon filler must be rated for electrical. If it is acidec, it
will damage the yoke. We use GC contact cement that is electricaly
rated.

I have 2 trimming magnets loose in my yoke and was wondering if could use
"GE silicone II (clear)" (has a temp range of 400F), to fill inside the
yoke casing to keep the magnets in place?

does the inside of the yoke go over 400 degress?

will it be a fired hazard?

the GE Silicone II wont corrode the coating off the coppers wires inside the
yoke?

can i just take the trimming magnets out?

Thanks,
DG

Ge silicone II should be ideal for this. If any part of the yoke gets
anywhere near 400 deg you've got much more to worry about than a little
silicone catching on fire. The windings and plastic housing would be
destroyed far below that temp, not to mention that it would probably
break the CRT neck. The silicone should be much less flammable than the
plastic parts of the yoke anyway.
