Not the same one. The pictures in the "post #18" are Audax, Onkyo, or something similar. They are either 3/8" or 1/2" voice coil.

The ones in the OP here are Peerless, Pioneer or Onkyo built. They have either 3/4" or 1" voice coil.

I doubt they were used in any Altec model, even in the later "Sparkomatic years" in the 1980s. Maybe in some product made between 1990 and now, but I've never seen them in anything labeled Altec, and can't find any reference to anything like that online, either...

Gordon.

Those tweeters were used in Altec models 83 and 95 for sure. They also may have been used in models 85, 96 and 100. Those speakers are rare for a reason. They are not the best. Check those model Altec on ebay...you may find a few. Sell 'em.

Good luck,
vern

*****REPOSTED DUE TO LACK OF IMAGE IN PREVIOUS POST OF SAME NATURE.***** I'm still learning. lol I am having a problem locating a tweeter for my Altec 'Madrid' speakers. I blew one out and want to replace the pair. The picture on the left shows it in the bottom speaker. If you click on it, it will enlarge. The cone measures 2 1/2 inches across. Stamped on the back are the numbers 137-7314 and 30685-3. I would appreciate any knowledge you can pass my way to get this fix in place. I can do my own work if it's a proper replacement tweeter.
