If a tweeter is damaged as well as a bass driver plus some likely needed crossover updates - I can easily see, even with second hand parts, that the cost of repair will exceed the value of the speakers.I reckon some premier league foraging will be needed to get these part in on a reasonable budget - Maybe finding a sacrificial pair might work out cheapest?

Going to have a go at refoaming drivers to see if I can rescue them.
Still looking for a D19 tweeter to replace dodgy one.

Any idea what cap this is? I may replaces these too.

Small enough value to replace with a film cap should you so desire

Though I suppose a clarity cap would be fine.

The basic jantzen is cheap, not tried them though.

New caps fitted to crossovers and drivers refoamed. First time I’ve done a refoam, could be neater but I think I’ve got them centred nicely.
