I think it is a Peerless unit - part number is 8480125 but that is no help as they are not available now! I had to have mine refoamed and there was no suitable ring so the repairer had to cut and shut one he had. If I get a chance, I'll take one out and have a look at it!

Peter, that would be fantastic! Thank you.

Next in line is the Phillips tweeter. Since it was already separating, I took  it apart to find  busted voice coil. This one is giving me hard time too! No continuity reading, Wire in a coil seems to have rubbed off coating, as I was able to get a reading between that location and one pin.

You can see a wire separating, that is because I was trying to eliminate the short. Very tedious ordeal!

I have committed to restoring those speakers!

I have the woofer sent out for inspection and repair. Acquired a pair of phase link midranges (too large since they are from m70 but hopefully will work), but I don't know what to do about the tweeters! One working, one with busted voice coil. 

I am on ebay every day searching for them, and nothing. But what about suitable replacement pairs? Does anyone have a suggestion, some tweeter characteristics to go by by searching for replacements?

Thank you!

I think I have the tweeter - not sure if it works though - It is missing the red wire but was sent to me by a friend so I imagine it works. Happy to send it to you if you have one working one. I don't think the part number of the phase link is helpful though.

Peter! You are a life saver! That would be so incredibly fantastic!!! Did you try resistance reading between both solder points? Either way, I need it, I want it!!! I'll message you shortly so we can cover the details. This is so great!!

EDIT: I couldn't figure out how to send you a private message, could you please message me instead?

Thanks.

About phase links, yeah, the number itself not very useful. The resistance of the driver would be helpful though to find a closer match.

Once I gather all of the components again, I will still try the m70 phase links, and if they work well, I will just port my boxes to make them fit.

I am gonna wait with woodworking and cosmetics till I sort out the sound and electronics though. 

If you are looking for a good alternative for the filler driver this is the best solution:

MONACOR SP 60 (8 Ohm)

It fits pretty well,
Only the screw holes must be made slightly larger

Welcome to Beoworld !

I would be very surprised (positively) if a suitable substitute has finally been made available for this incredibly hard to match driver.
And at a most resonable cost too.
The closest one I ever found was in the EUR 100-120 range - and it was really not THAT close.

But ... Allow me to ask; Have you compared the T/S parameters against the original at all since you call this "The Best Solution" ?

Just a quick update, and thank you for those who chimed in and followed.

I found a semi-local repair shop that is dealing with my shifted magnets (

Thank you for the update, and pics are welcome, congrats on finding spares

Great news! Looking forward to hear more. 🙂
