JKent Posted February 26, 2011 Report Share Posted February 26, 2011 Hey! Welcome to CSP!There were a couple of different tweeters used: Early ones had reddish domes and later ones had black so be careful when you buy.Here's a suggestion: Do a search under the Mods section for Roy's HiVi Tweeters. You can buy a pair of brand-new tweeters, plus the needed 0.05uH inductors, for about $60 at Parts Express or Madisound. You can then sell your single tweeter and maybe come out even. Another suggestion (also from Roy): Replace the corroded pots with L-Pads. Cheap and trouble-free. Info on that in the AR section (I think). Also be sure to look at the AR3a restoration manual. Much of what is in there applies to the 2ax.
