Advent 5002 / 5012 Tweeter Voice Coil Repair or Replacement?

[mike_drop]

Hi all, been a while. I happened across an affordable pair of 5002’s and finished my refoam the other day. The tweeters had dents in them and my OCD couldn’t get past the tiny dimples left over from the “tape trick”. Should have just let it be. Anyways, without doing ANY research like an impatient idiot, I said to myself “oh look four inner screws on the dome casing. I bet that’s how people repair the tweeter cap.”
I stupidly took it apart and the thin little voice coil wires separated from the dome/cap panel contacts(see pictured).

Just wondering if by some miracle this tweeter can be salvaged(are voice coil replacements? Or is there a way of repairing what I’ve done?) or if there’s any reputable sellers of the original or reissue 5002/5012 tweeters. I see simply speakers was one of the only trusted sources for a while but it looks like those have been discontinued/SO? Tried my best to research this but came up empty on concrete options. All the previous recommendations for replacements seem to be disc. And I couldn’t find anything on tweeter voice coil repair.

I’m so upset with myself...Please let me know if there’s anything I can do.

These should fit:

I used them to replace the "Fried Egg" tweeters in my NLAs. They sound pretty good.

Thanks! Yeah I saw those, but the round magnet and reviews had me nervous about it being a good fit. Plus the price tag...

I found ONE original 5002 tweeter this afternoon on eBay(thankfully all I need is one). $25 + shipping, so I jumped on it. It was dented also, but I’ll get the majority of it popped out with tape and leave it at that.

I will keep these simply speakers substitutes in my back pocket in case something is wrong with this one off of eBay. Thanks again for the reply.

Though I have now found/purchased a replacement tweeter, I’m curious if knows of you can actually repair the old botched tweeter. Would be nice to have an original back up seeing these replacements get rarer by the day. Your input is appreciated!

I don't know about repairing the originals but for my Advents, I only had to shave a very small portion (like 1/16" of one side) of the original tweeter opening to get the Midwest Speaker clones to fit. Using a Dremel made it easy.
