I've got a WG D9200 that I'm working on. The yoke connector had a burnt up red wire so I repinned that 4 pin connector. In checking the ohms on the yoke wires this is what I'm seeing:

Yellow & black - 2.6 ohms
Red & blue - .5 ohms

From what I've read this is correct.

The main question I have is that there is a thin red wire from the yoke that two pieces were soldered together. That soldered wire connects to the two left connections on the bottom of the yoke. You can see what I'm talking about in the pictures.

Is that wire supposed to be soldered to something? Or perhaps the wire got cut and someone soldered it together to fix it? Let me know. Thanks!

Ive had a lot of d9200s and i never remember seeing that, a lot of them the yokes wpuld break too and i would hot glue the yokes back on and usually worked just fine lol. i am thinking though its probably normal and i wouldnt mess with it and just leave it, i hardly doubt its causing any harm. It was really common for the yoke plugs to burn up on the d9200s completely normal, they are some of the hottest running chassis i think that ever existed. I think a dc cooling fan would of done them good. The d9400 chassis can drop in replace it and wells basically fixed a lot of the problems with the d9200 chassis. There was two 9400s tho one for the standard curved tube it will work, the d9400 for the flat tube will not.

Thanks for the info John. I put heat shrink on that connection. Fired it up for the first time after getting a working chassis and the monitor is working fine.

That tube and chassis look sooo clean did you wash it or something lol? All of mine those especially were super filthy golden tees/silver strikes in smoking bars in Indiana you would bot even be able to see what color the yoke wires were 🤣
