EMIT Tweeter Help

[onepixel]

Hi Guys,
I have a pair of Infinity RSb speakers and the tweeters are not working. They are the ones on a round black plate about 4.5 inches. I read some info on fixing the EMITs. What I didn't read is when you take the buggers apart is that the magnets pop the plates off. Sure enough it did that and shifted tearing the diaphram.

So it looks like I need to make some kinda jig to keep the plates aligned. I was wondering what the next set would be. Where can I get new diaphrams or is it cheaper to just buy new/used EMITs?

Thanks!
Carl

I'd just go for new EMITs on eBay. They are on there often for good prices.

Go here http://www.infinity-classics.de/infinity/models/Reference-series-1978-klein/RS-b/body_rs_b.html

and open the Technical Sheet. You'll see that the Emit diaphragm PN is 751-3722. ( other cool info on your speakers as well :yes: )

Speakerrepair.com sells this PN for aprox 140$ per pair, or as singles as well. I guess if you can get a parted out set on Ebay or wherever for cheaper, then the added advantage of that route is you won't have to try to get those magnet plates back together again.

Oh, If you were reading the Emit repair sticky on this forum, then I think you did miss a few references to the "danger" of those plates shifting and snapping back together. It's happened to a few of us, kind of funny really. Made me feel like a real idiot when it happened, but then that's how you learn eh?

Good luck on the repair.
