The Dude Posted May 10, 2016 Share Posted May 10, 2016 Are you stuck on the original Klipsch products? If not then there are some aftermarket options out there as well. If you are, find one more K400 and Matthews has you covered. Great sounding speaker, can't wait to get to enjoy that wonderful sound. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would suggest Crites replacements. The K55 mid drivers are perfect. The AA crossovers are all original 1975 models in good shape. The K400 could use a coat of paint.

Get a hold Nels at Rainbow Recording here in Omaha, 402-554-0123. Hey may have some new old stock of the diaphragms. If he does, he maybe willing to let them go at a fair price. I know, lots of maybes, but hey its worth a shot. Edited May 10, 2016 by The Dude 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DizRotus Posted May 10, 2016 Share Posted May 10, 2016 (edited) If I were repairing K-77s (T-35s), my only source for diaphragms would be Bob Crites. Bob might be able to also help with your K400 need. The above is not meant to contradict the advice of The Dude above. If truly NOS diaphragms are available from Nels at a reasonable price, that would be good. I'd stay away from aftermarket diaphragms from anyone but Bob. Good luck with your restoration. Please share your progress and results. Edited May 10, 2016 by DizRotus 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matthews Posted May 10, 2016 Share Posted May 10, 2016 Pm sent matthews, and thanks guys im trying to get them as original as possible so if possible id like to not go the aftermarket way OK, so I did some "real world" testing of the spare K77's I have on hand. It turns out I DO have 2 good tweeters, ready to rock. What I have: 2 round magnet K77 tweeters 2 K55V midrange drivers 1 K400 horn lens If you are still interested, "ducks", shoot me an offer (shipped) via Private Message ON A SIDE NOTE: I spoke with Nels of Rainbow Recording today concerning K77 diaphragms. He does have some OEM diaphragms left. However, when they are gone, THEY ARE GONE. He is charging $59, each... Matt ♪ ♫ ♪ 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dude Posted May 11, 2016 Share Posted May 11, 2016 I spoke with Nels of Rainbow Recording He can be a goofy guy, however he has a time machine of audio in his recording studio along with one of the oldest buildings on the old Lincoln Highway. Great place to go and check out if your ever in the Omaha area. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DizRotus Posted May 11, 2016 Share Posted May 11, 2016 (edited) I used to get them directly from EV at 600 Cecil St., Buchanan, MI for $11.00. I miss those days and prices. Edited May 11, 2016 by DizRotus 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
erik2A3 Posted May 11, 2016 Share Posted May 11, 2016 I have two K400horns and two K77 tweeters (both with ceramic mag drivers) I had planned to use for another project. All in good working condition if interested. Good luck on your La scala build! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I tried that once and he wouldn't do it, says he needs to keep stock for his own repairs. But never hurts to try. One last thing as we are getting to far off topic. But if everyone starts calling him for a pair, the prices will more than likely start going up.
