you can sus the pinouts by looking at the neck board on the dead chassis.
[just an obvious tip.] :)

also, the yoke is designed for the tube, so they must stay together.
as for de-gausing, you must make sure the de-gausing coil matches the PTC.
(they are also matched.)
this means swaping the coil on the tube, or swaping the PTC on the chassis.
