Allison three tweeter

[evanjones]

Hi, I have a pair of Allison threes with one completely dead tweeter, and was wondering if this one: http://www.ebay.ca/sch/i.html?_trksid=p5197.m570.l1313&_nkw=allison+tweeter&_sacat=0&_from=R40 would be a suitable replacement? I noticed it didn't have the same post that the leads attach to as the Allison Three tweeters?

Hope someone can help, I'd love to hear them again!

Welcome Evan

The Allison: Three is a 4 ohm three-way system that uses one 1-inch (2.5cm) Convex Diaphragm tweeter. I "think" that when I was looking for a tweeter for my Fours I was told that the tweeters in the 2-way and 3-way systems were different. The one on ebay does not state which system it came from. OTOH, I don't know if that information is accurate.
Another possibility: If you can't find the right Allison tweeter, maybe the Audax TW025A2 1" Textile Dome Tweeter would work.

This thread discusses my search for a tweeter but for some reason it's in reverse order (go to the bottom of the page to find the first post) http://www.classicspeakerpages.net/IP.Board/index.php?showtopic=3033

Finding replacement tweeters for Allison speakers has been discussed on the Yahoo Allison forum: http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/allison-speakers/

Good luck!

so these tweeters from Allison 1s which I think were a three way system should work?

I "think" they should.
