oldmako Posted July 28, 2009 Share Posted July 28, 2009 Did I get your attention? Well I finally did it. I blew one of my tweets. In my grief and self loathing, I am about to cap my own self. I was chillin with a fat spliff (and a caucasian) this evening when it occurred to me that things weren't right in my universe. In fact they were horribly askew in the auditory department. I crept up to the right one with trepidation, angst, a cocked ear and a tight sphincter.....toast! Is there a replacement tweeter readily available for an old CF3?? Absent the original equipment, is there something else I can install which will mimic what was installed by the folks in Hope? This really sucks! I've fallen and I can't get up.

oldmako Posted July 28, 2009 Author Share Posted July 28, 2009 Wow....your reply came in about two minutes. I sure do love this site. Thanks a ton. The price is a bit of a surprise as I replaced a Forte tweet for about 35 bucks, but if that's what it takes to resurrect the boomers than I'll gladly pay it. Hell I only paid $240 for the pair of CFs! Truly a craigslist steal. Thanks for the help! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
djk Posted July 29, 2009 Share Posted July 29, 2009 Check with forum member BEC, I think he has some replacement diaphragms for those. Also, check the driver for continuity before ordering a replacement, the network could be bad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldmako Posted July 29, 2009 Author Share Posted July 29, 2009 I was hoping that Bob might be able to help. I'll try and contact him. Thanks for the tip. As far as checking the continuity, is that as simple as using a digital VM to check the wires to the driver? I do plenty of electrical stuff on my boat, but know next to nothing about audio gear. What specifically should I check?? Is there a value or a value range I need to see or just current flow? Thanks again for you advice. It would be great if I could repair this without dropping 300 bucks, but if that's what it takes I'll bite the bullet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
