I thought the plastic cover around the driver/magnet was torn, but the driver still measured okay. Maybe take some two-part epoxy or some such and fill in the tear, try to approximate the texture, clean it up and hit with a light coat of satin black.

If it is still functional and sounds fine...why not? It'll be hidden a cabinet.

" EV cloned the driver"

The K51V was unique, the PDMR was the Atlas driver that EV cloned, it had what looked like a metal ashtray attached to the back of the driver.

Every K51V I ever had to service had a slipped magnet.

Educational thread!...interesting indeed!

I got this from my last stock Belle K-500 mid horn; 6.5 and 11.6 ohms

So one midhorn is or was "6.5ohms" and the other midhorn is or was "11.6ohms"? Just curious about the fact they varied in ohms please? Thank you for your time answering...

Hi, Wondering if you folks could recommend some good sites for me to post my desire to acquire a K-51-V mid driver for my CW I's...appreciate the help.

Please give me a bit of time. I may have one or know who i can get one from...what is the ohm of the current k51v in the other cw?

My shorthand sux.. Since I showed the tweeter and the midhorn still mounted to the Belle's motorboard I posted the values for both: K-77 was 6.5 and K-55 was 11.6. The K-500 was referring to the horn model.

I had my information scrambled up slightly.

The K-51-V was Atlas' answer to EV's K-55-M. They both have ceramic magnets and dual phase plugs, but they are not interchangeable.

Sorry!

Man, you old dudes need to get it together.

Yes, that is correct, the magnet housing is cracked. And glad you commented on the diaphragm, reason being I'm wondering what the implications are for changing out the diaphragms to "new"in an "old" driver? Will the difference be discernible (to an old guy like me...) Dean, is the K-55-M really close? It has also been recommended to use a K-55-X....same, same? Thanks for your help.

Oh, and one more thing....the K-55-M's are around $120 per pair, just for the diaphragms.....better to just get a whole new driver?

Get a hold of BEC, he'll take care of you.
