KLH 23 tweeter trouble shooting - What's next? Updated Strikeout

So, I have a dead tweeter. No noise at all coming from it. I swapped the known good tweeter into the speaker tonight with the bad tweeter and it played fine. These can't be fixed can they? Is the only step left, locating a similar second hand one?

I've done the research and know which KLH tweeters to be on the lookout for if that's the route I have to take.

Thanks!

The tweeter's lead-in wire under the metal grill may have corroded through and broken in which case it's repairable. Read here, it happens fairly often.

I suggest a recap as well if you haven't already done so.

Tweeters are on fleabay all the time for these.

First see if your dead one is repairable.

New caps have already been taken care of. Thanks for the tip on the tweeter lead-in wire. I appreciate it.

Swing and a miss. Doesn't seem to be any noticeable problems here. Oh well, it was worth a shot.

I've got an extra tweeter from a KLH Model Five you can have. Supposedly 23's and 5's have the same woofers and tweeters. Mine has a black grill though.

Here are pics. The back picture makes it look like the magnet is bigger than it is. Magnet is same size as my 23 tweets(3 inches).

That's a very generous offer. I'll shoot you a PM. Thanks!

Guess I will be ripping apart my Five tweeter, also. Just when I thought I had all the issues of the Fives ironed out except refinishing the cabinets and grill cloth.. Feels like I take 2 steps forward and 1 back.

What is the matter with your FIVE tweeter, Brian?
