Infinity Monitor II

I have a pair of Monitor II. Not the IIA. I am new to this whole vintage speaker thing and am finding out it is kind of hard to find information about these. I really want to get them up and running again because the little that I do know is that they are excellent speakers. I need to know what kind of mid range speakers they use. I need a replacement for one of them. I have found replacement tweeters and also need a pair of the Walsh tweeters. Any information would help greatly. Thanks!

There is a Monitor II. It is a four way like the later IIa but used the midrange speaker from the original three way Monitor, a caged dome which was later replaced in the IIa by a conventional open dome. Attached are photos of each model.

I will post pics later today when done with work but the 1st pic you have up is the kind I have.
 
Does anyone know what kind the caged dome ones are then or the best replacement for them would be? I'd like to go as original as possible. The only thing I don't think I will be able to get a hold of are original Walsh tweeters. I saw on ebay some silver remakes of the originals for $200 for the pair. Worth it?

When I first got these I tried looking them up but couldn't find anything about them which makes it hard to find parts. I only found IIA that were for sale but the back of mine only say Monitor II so they must exist! :)

Here is one I just found that may still be available but it's hard to tell from the page:

http://www.faearch.com/product/infi...ty-monitor-ii-2-6-midrange-sp,6012282063.html

I have no affiliation to the seller.

Otherwise just keep searching on ebay and one or a pair may turn up. Sorry I don't have any manufacturer or model number info. I had a loose pair back in 2013 that I sold to an AK'er but I don't have any photos.

As far as the new Walsh replacements available on ebay, I use them and find them a suitable replacement for the originals and worth the price. There is a long thread regarding these drivers in the Infinity Forum.

Bummer man it is no longer available. At least I know what I need now! That link you gave me is exactly what I need and greatly appreciate it.
