The tweeters in these don't match but I will install a matched pair (round or square magnet) to match

 

I’ll trade you the pair of round magnet (Alnico) K77s from my HIPs for the expanded metal grilles.  I feel compelled to remind you that upgrading the tweeter is part of Claude’s @ClaudeJ1 Super recipe.  My Superized HIPs have modified Type AA networks (Crites 3636 autoformers and new caps), as well as Crites 120 tweeters.  

 

IMO, the replacement of the K77 with the 120 is essential.  The 3636 autoformer makes adjusting the squawker by 1db increments easy.

 

Nevertheless, if you want a pair of matched K77s, they’re yours in exchange for the expanded metal grilles.  Send me a PM if interested.

 

The attached photo shows one of the K77s in an HIP.

Update, the long journey is nearly over.  All woodworking and finishing is done.  Crossover changes (thanks to Claude ) have been done - changing HIE xover to Cornwall B  with modifications.  They sound great.  Just need to stretch tan can grill material and get black screws for the new  rear panel which I also veneered.  Used PE 2 uf caps (two going to the autoformer and one going to tweeter after autoformer.

 

Thanks to Claude again for his patience through this process!!!!!

 

Now I need to sell them at the garage sale forum.
