Need Help with 801 series 80 (the originals)
Hello, all. I have "inherited" a pair of somewhat cosmetically-challenged 801 Series 80 speakers from around 1982 or so. These were originally a matched-pair though time has done some damage to the relationship.
Does anyone have, or know a good source for, parts for these things? The grille cloth/surrounds have cat-scratches on them, and I can deal with that, but mainly I need a tweeter grill or two, one (better two) tweeters or a better substitute suggestion, and the long bolt that holds the head to the body. Actually, ANYTHING would be helpful to have on hand. I'm going to either re-build or buy a better crossover and take out the protection circuit.
They're up and running right now, and even with just one tweeter working, they still make my living room sound like Diana Krall or Miles Davis is IN there playing a gig.....it's almost scary. Anyhoo, thanks for any help you can offer, all the best to you, CHEERS!
