dtr20 Posted March 26, 2021 Share Posted March 26, 2021 Simply speakers sells replacements and I think Crites sold some. I have no experience with either product, just passing info. Both are great to do business with. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, at that time, the round magnet K77 diaphragm was not available. Only square magnet replacements were available. Wasn't sure if that was still the case?

Wasn't sure if that was still the case? all K77 diaphragms are the same , except for the 16 ohms version , not sure if the cups also fit the Round magnet Alnico which is the K77 I prefer 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think one of mine is missing some high frequencies, so it´s not "dead". I read that the magnets of these tweeters can loose strength over time and mine or over fourty years old now...

Vader540is Posted August 21 Share Posted August 21 Yes I know this is old but do people still use ferrofluid when replacing the diaphragm on a K77? Also what do people use for a gasket? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deang Posted August 23 Share Posted August 23 No ferrofluid in the K-77. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
