EV Interface A cone tweeter - source?

[bakes]

I'm finishing up restoration on a surprisingly musical pair of EV Interface A speakers - the early version with the paper cone tweeter. Unfortunately one of the tweeters is dead.

Any idea regarding these little beasts? The frame is 2.5" square, cone is marked "8 o" (that's an omega but my laptop won't do that), grey paper cone with a black aluminum dust cap, alnico looking magnet and "Made in Denmark" stamped on the back.

My guess is it's a Seas or Vifa (before Peerless moved their production overseas). Anyone have one lying around or seen one on any of the sites? I was going to sell these but I'm beginning to think they may be worth hanging on to. :scratch2:

It is most likely the excellent Peerless AlNiCo. These were widely used; perhaps the best sounding cone tweeter of all. McIntosh, for example used them; see Roger Russell's pages.

Could be; the ones that are operational sound really sweet! Thanks!

See them occaisionally on the bay. I might have a pr around here. JR

It`s certainly a Peerless, I think a MT 25 HFC 65 x 65 mm.
