I have a D9200 with broken yoke. It broke where the tabs come out which wrap around the neck. It's pretty much rotating freely. Has anyone fixed something like this before? Silicon maybe?
 
If this was a bonded yoke, then I'm betting your tube is shot now. I had one that I thought broke loose, and the tube had busted INSIDE the yoke so that it was devacuumed and that's why it was spinning.

If not, then you should have a clamp for it to hold it in place....

Monitor works, the part that is held by the clamp is what broke off. That part is still tightly in place. The rest of the yoke is loose. -__-
 
Ooh. Well, that's good news, at least.

I'd think some hot glue on the wedges with the yoke stuck to them would help. I don't think the heat of the tube would melt the hot glue, and it should be easy to break loose later if you ever need to...

I hadn't thought about hot glue. You're right about it being easy to break loose later if needed. I went to check the yoke today and saw it rotated but the clamps stayed still.

I'll try the hot glue. Silicon could get messy if it doesn't work.

First you get the yoke situated where it roughly was and then you insert rubber into where the yoke broke away from the tube. i use the rubber from junked monitors in the past. You insert cut pieces of rubber where you need it to keep the yoke still. connect a picture to see if picture looks good. adjust yoke back and forth to get it perfect.
I used liquid nails and sqeezed in every nook and cranny on the tube/yoke area and around the yoke meeting the back of the tube by the anode. I usually like to put some on and let it harden so then i can put the monitor face down and then get the bottom of the yoke and tube so that way when i move it to do that it will stay in place and not screw up the picture.
Some liquid nail hardens in hours but i like to wait 24-48 to make sure it is hardened for sure.
I know what your saying liquid nails? It is cheap and your goint to need alot. glue/silicon if you do it that way and it is going to cost alot more.

if you have monitor situated as normal and put this stuff or any glue you better put a rag or cardboard under the yoke/tube where your working as gravity will push this stuff to your chassis and then your going to shit when it comes time to fix the chassis.
