Dead tweeter in KLH Model Six. Do any other KLH use the same tweeter?

I recapped my recently purchased KLH model Six speakers. I tested them out when the arrived after purchase, and one tweeter was dead. I assumed it was a cross over issue, and would come back to life after a recap. No such luck. I recapped both speakers, and the second one works fine, so I'm reasonably confident the one tweeter is dead. Looking for a replacement, did any other KLH speakers use the same tweeter as the Six? Mine is not the early glued in version, it is the version with the black metal grill with a square magnet. Can this tweeter be repaired? Thanks for the help.

You might be able to repair it; a hair dryer can be used to soften the glue
on the grill. Sometimes you can see a broken wire.

Model Seventeen, Twenty, Thirty, and Thirty Three used the ~same tweeter.
 
The tweeter for the Model Six is one of the easiest to get, it’s extremely common. If you can’t fix it you can use a tweeter from another Model Six, Model Seventeen, Model Twenty or Model Thirty-Three. There may be others too but those are the most common ones (and they are very common / easy to find). The tweeter from the Five/Twelve/Twenty-Three will fit but it’s a little different sonically plus it’s a bit harder to find and usually more expensive.

There is a thread (with pics) out there about repairing them. Many people have repaired them done it.
You remove the grille and often find the small tweeter wire broken.
