Similar or the same?? I thought Yamaha only did one Berryllium tweeter, as they are no longer avaliable I think you will have to bid on the pair and then sell off the spare Or keep it until another blows of course

Thanks Moondog55 but as its states on eBay that those are for the NS-500m not the NS-1000, but thanks anyway.

Rare as the proverbial hens teeth I suppose, are there any usable replacements on the market??

Many Thanks to Studiochap for his connection in Germany called QUAD Musikwiedergabe that will replace the voice coil. I have tried a few speaker repairers in melbourne & they said it couldn't be done or they said it was to difficult on the NS-1000's. I sent two tweeters today & they said it will take 10 days at a cost of 65 Euro each.

Hello.
The tweeterlist, as far as I know:
NS7 - JA 0581, beryllium
NS 10/10M - JA 0518, softdome
NS40M - JA 0589, softdome
NS 200M - JA 0540, titanium
NS 500 - JA 0544, beryllium
NS615 - JA 0510
NS645 - JA 0510
NS 690 - JA 0509, beryllium
NS1000 - JA 0513, beryllium
NS1000 - JA 3301, beryllium

Rumour has it that there is a Yamaha replacement for the JA0513.
Expensive, though, about 250 Euros each, ex VAT. In Sweden, that is..

Hi hugomac,

did you get the tweeters back already? How was it, how they sound?

I've got a pair of ns1000m too and looking for tweeters since the other started to distort pretty noticeably. Repairing seems a good option, these are hard to find indeed.

NS-1000M tweeters appear regularly on Ya*** auctions Japan. I could assist with purchase.

Hi Spectrum77,
that would be nice. Could you check out what they'll cost (approx)? Fo you know if there is crossovers for sale and what do they cost?

I actually got Genelec S45YA speakers, which are Yamaha ns1000m accommodated with Genelec s30 triamps to make them active monitors. Genelec made these for Finnish public radio in late 70's.

While I'm replacing the tweeters I'd like to recap and refurbish the amps too. I emailed Genelec and they said repairing and matching the amps costs about 300€ per speaker (all parts still in storage! except the drivers..). But I'll propably try to purchase the orginal ns1000m crossovers (propably a bit cheaper?) and drive these with other power amp.

I'd propably recap the crossovers, I'm mainly intrested for the attenuators and coils.

Thanks for help!
