Looking to replace all the tweeters on the above. The unit casings made of a combination of rubber and plastic, have degraded over the twenty years I have had them, to the point where they are pretty much falling apart, plus a couple of the grills have broken. My understanding is that the full units have been discontinued, although the grills can still be bought. Can anyone advise where if anywhere I can get hold full units or whether there is any other alternative?

Check out this website. You can look up by your model number.

Thanks, tried that before posting , and Ebay......my guess is that getting parts like a full tweeter for a 25 year old speaker might just be too much to expect?

Yeah, might not be that easy. Might be time for an upgrade! :D

Can you give is a picture of one? I would assume the face plate and magnet are intact. So with a bit of ingenuity the tweeters may be salvageable.

No problem, I think I can get the grill from a supplier but the casing is a mess and I can't see any ingenuity that could change that. Its just aesthetics as I dont think there has been much sound degradation despite the broken grill.....having said that I only use it for home theatre so ....

Those speakers are deceased. They are EX speakers!
