I went out there to get the chassis number so I took the back off completely. While I was there I looked at the yoke again and you were right about the plastic. The odd thing is the way it crystalized the plastic looked like burned wires, the plastic was in lines about the size of the yoke wires.
Anyway on the yoke how is the best way to stabilize it? Could a person find a plastic jug or something and make it fit in the place of the old plastic? This gives me hope I can fix it. Buy the way the chassis is 16c21.
