FS: Peerless Tweeter--Hard to Find

Dick West · 26th January 2008, 03:49 PM

For many years I've had this tweeter sitting on a shelf. The last couple of days I put it into my 3-way system here and it plays just fine. It has a rectangular faceplate 3" X 4.5" and a 1" dome. The magnet on the back is 2.75" in diameter. Has the number 25143677 stamped on the back.

I am told it is a Peerless KO10DT, Polk used them in many models. No longer available. This squares with my memory.

If interested put $18 in my PayPal account and I will send it carefully wrapped in a flat rate Priority Mail box. This amount pays for the speedy Priority Mail, Delivery Confirmation number, PayPal fee, and leaves me $8 or so for the tweeter and my time to mail it.

Shipping to the continental USA, no overseas.

OK, how about $15 postage paid in the lower 48 . .

Desperately need a pair of the old Peerless to get my 7B's back.
Does anyone know if there are any kicking around?
Sorry for the late add. Thank you.

Try at the Madisound.com or PartsExpress.com discussion boards. There are probably tweeters very close in parameters to the original Peerless that you could get a pair and drop them in. Or, do so with very minor tweaks to the crossover.

What is a "7B." It might be, perhaps, more helpful if you were more descriptive of your speakers.

He's referring to an early Polk model 7B, they used this tweeter, as did many other of the early Polk models.

SDA-the original post is a year and a half old........

SDA,

I sold the one and only Peerless tweeter I had over a year ago

As I said, try these two discussion boards where hundreds of DIY speaker builders hang out. Ask at them and you should get some good suggestions about a useful replacement.
