AR2ax/AR3a tweeter voice coil

[Bill S]

My tweeters on my AR2ax have the dreaded no/low output. I see an eBay seller from China that offers a pair of
AFT 0.75" Silk Dome Tweeter Diaphragm for Acoustic Research AR2ax,AR11,AR3a 4Ω
I'm not looking for perfection but might these do well enough? I'm pretty confident I can remove the old dome and voice coil.and clean up the air gap and surrounding material. These new replacements look like they could be glued down with Aleen's Craft Glue of even speaker surround glue. Thoughts? I know Vintage AR as well as Chris can do these but I'm just wondering if results should be adequate with this silk dome.

No. I changed out the pots with new ones and that seemed to work.
