Help Needed Identifying Advent Tweeter.

[ManFromPorlock]

I need one of these tweeters for a New Advent but I'm not sure what the right nomenclature is. I know it's not the 'fried egg tweeter' and I'm pretty sure the green (as opposed to orange) color is significant, but what's this specific tweeter called?

OK, the picture didn't take but it's the green tweeter in the later (rectangular) mount; the speaker has an 'A3' serial number.

I was just going to ask... "Got any pics?"!

Sounds like it's still the "fried egg" tweeter... they come in green as well as orange.

Let's try the picture again.

Whoa! That's a first for me!
I've never seen a green one like that, just orange.

Finished recapping and new surrounds on a set of Large Advents in utility cabs a couple of weeks ago. They are dated 1978 and have green tweets. Don't know the history, found them at a local thrift.

The original Advents started with an orange tweeter. When the tweeter was upgraded, they changed the color to green. I've seen the orange tweeters fitted to New Advents and I'm guessing - assuming Advent is consistent - that the green is a further upgrade of that. But I still need to know what it's called.
