cinemaprof Posted June 26, 2018 Share Posted June 26, 2018 (edited) I have a nice pair of Crites 125 tweeters for sale, just removed from my Klipschorns. They perform perfectly and just over 3 years old. Never played at high levels. One of the terminals came loose during removal but should be easy to re-solder. Mint condition otherwise. $100 plus $10 shipping Priority. PayPal is fine. After a very careful close examination of the damage, it appears not to be easily repaired by a typical user. It's probably a job for Bob. I therefore will amend my original offer to sell to "Make Offer."

Anyone has any thoughts on how to fix this ... yes; can maybe "glue" the post back on, but since it got pulled off, the main problem is the positive lead ... don't recall if this is the direct lead from the diaphragm, or ???

Emile Posted June 27, 2018 Share Posted June 27, 2018 add-on ... think I need to replace the driver ... think it is the Eminence APT-50 Super Tweeter Horn Driver, but not sure Anyone? Also ... does this driver screw onto my existing K77 horns? Thanks, Emile Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's hard to see what it attaches to but does lead to the diaphragm wires. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Emile Posted June 27, 2018 Share Posted June 27, 2018 Found this old 2015 post by @moray james Quote The CT125 is NOT an Eminence driver. The original APT tweeter was not an Eminence drive but Polish made and sold by Eminence then Eminence figured they could make their own and increase their profit and the popularity dropped. Bob has the original Polish company build his CT125. Clearly you get what you pay for. Best regards Moray James Unquote Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shakeydeal Posted June 27, 2018 Share Posted June 27, 2018 At the risk of getting "moderated", unless the OP is willing to repair these, it's hardly worth the trouble. On one hand, you have a brand new pair for 160.00. On the other hand, you have a three year old pair that needs repair for 100.00. That math is pretty easy for me. Not trying to bash, just a casual observation. Shakey 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If these can't be repaired, then someone is out 100.00. Might not mean much to you, but it could be a lot to someone else. I took a chance and posted an opinion. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joessportster Posted June 28, 2018 Share Posted June 28, 2018 Wouldn't this be a case for new Diaphragms ? I am sure the diaphragms leads directly to the terminals, either directly attached or by wire. Pulling the lead hard enough to break it off certainly did not help the Diaphragm. Are they available and cost ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've done diaphragm replacement on Klipsch drivers and typically you solder the diaphragm leads to the spade terminals that are attached to the body of the driver.
