"Linn Tweeters" - need to find a bunch

[revjac]

A local colleague who happens to be a very good and very dedicated DIY speaker designer has a new project underway that requires some Linn tweeters - tweeters that seem to be a touch tough to find. So he asked me for some help!
Here's what his note to me said,
"The Linn tweeters only have the number 9TD3K and the name Linn on the back. I think they are know as the 3 bar Ceramic tweeter and Linn used to or maybe still does supply them as an upgrade for older Linn speakers."

If anyone has any help or info for my guy can you let me know forthwith?

Thanksabunch!

It could be a hiquphon or a scanspeak depending on when the speakers were made.

Thanks - my guy (Terry) did mention in a subsequent conversation that he thought those brands were likely culprits.
Another colleague also sent me a message with the following info,
"I'm not sure where Terry found the model number of the tweeter, but I believe the part number should actually be SPKR 015/3, SPKR 038/1 or SPKR 038/2. If you search those, you'll have much more success in finding some I'm sure.
Here's a quick reference to a website that lists upgrades to Linn equipment over the years:
http://www.brinnoven.co.uk/linnsite/index.html
You will see the last version of the Keilidh's used the SPKR 015/3. The newer Linn Ninka speakers also use a version of the three bar tweeter SPKR 038/1 and SPKR 038/2.
>From what I understand, the SPKR 038/2 should still be available from any Linn dealer.

Hope that helps.
