Tweeters for AVID Model 230...

[DerekRI]

So I've had a couple pairs of AVIDs for a while that were given to me by a friend. A set of 102s and a set of 230s. When I got them, I hooked them up and was... underwhelmed. I put them aside until I could do a recap. I just got around to recapping the 230's, and it did clean up the sound a good bit, the mid range sounded great... but they were still off. I put my ear up to them and realized that neither tweeter was working. Tested them, and they are open-- fried.

I had heard that they used a Phillips tweeter, but these are only branded as AVID. Anyone know what they are exactly?

Better yet, anyone have an old set of AVIDs with blown drivers but good tweeters that you want to part out?!?!

Being a local and proud Rhode Islander, I really want to get these locally-made classics back to their original glory. Help AK!!

Thanks!

Just finished recapping the 102s! Very nice! Still, I want to get the 230s functioning 100% so I can take advantage of that sweet mid range!
