Ordering replacement AR-3 tweeters

[guiller]

I've got a pair of vintage AR-3's that need a tweeter replacement (one of them has been badly repaired). I serchead on th einternet and found some new replacement tweeters at this shop: http://stores.ebay.com/VINTAGE-AR-PARTS-AND-SERVICE . Are there any AKers with trading experiences with them? Are the tweeters good replacements?

Many thanks in advance for any input!

PS: No matter what you do, you should think in terms of replacing both tweeters.

One final comment, Roy swears by these tweeters. They are not a drop-in as they are not front wired, but they are big enough to seal the tweeter hole. That's the biggest headache as most modern tweeters are far, far too small to cover the AR tweeter opening. These are also 4 ohms.
