Dang, I was afraid of that. Fortunately, I have been saving a few here and there. I guess I'll go out and buy some butt connectors (ha) and start splicing.
Don't bother with butt connectors - they're generally unreliable. Your best bet is to do a pigtail splice. It's a stronger connection, and looks cleaner.
Here's an instructable on how to do the pigtail splice:

Is there an official name for the connectors used for yokes, degauss, and neck board ground on monitor tubes?
And does anyone know a source for use with tube swaps?
I believe I have found a source for these but I am not sure of the pin diameter. Anybody have the diameter and pin spacing?

For splicing the connector onto yokes I found using the insulated crimp pigtails like they sell for doing car stereo harnesses work good!

These things are evil.
They make messy connections, they're unreliable, and they're just asking to get caught on something. Oh, they might be passable if you're doing a couple wires, but even then, avoid them. Just twist the wires together and solder them! It's really easy, and saves you from having to buy funny little crimpy things.
Having fixed a Star Wars where someone extended the monitor harness with these things (that's right, two per wire, 15 wires, a massive MESS of horrible connections just to add one foot of wire to the harness) I never want to see them near an arcade game ever again.

ah yea i ment to add.
it's odd that there isn't a source for these as the last samsung lcd tv i fixed definitely had a single pin and 2 pin like in your picture.
someplace has to sell them.

Also, on the Star Wars extension cable...what was going on there? Were they just trying to get more cable slack to hook up a Wells Gardner 6100? If so, I make those extension cables for that:
Found them.
"2.35mm Power Connectors". Still made by my connector source. The manufacturer calls them their "LV" series (not sure why). I'll stock up on them but it may be a few months - the manufacturer requires $2K minimum buy so I need to combine with other connectors.
Dezbaz measurements helped greatly.
Close to 0.093" (2.35mm) pin size. First and second pin is always spaced at 10mm, remaining pins are on 8mm centers. Available in 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6 pin connectors.

FYI -- I now stock these 2.36mm connectors.
