Lockwood is selling their newly made tweet cartridges on fleabay
interestingly, you'll easily find auction in same place of (most likely) actual chinese producer, jus slight texture of plastic difference and no lockwood sign
compare pics and you'll see
chinese ones are real deal, I had them in hands, doing repair for customer
enough info in zip for fully functional ZM Redneck procedure
note - if not visible in pics - glue for cloth is common neoprene (irrelevant is it toluol or nitro-based), available in any hardware store
I did not say he should recone them. I said I would, if pension speakers are to be made of them.
Didn’t guess age, but pension speakers are ones you can live with - until retirement. Meaning final ones 
congrats on finding the tweeter!!

and, if you need to blacken some funny cloth used for surround patching, just use black school drawing ink, water based
dunno what's proper term in English, it's Tusch in German
I used for a while the modified crossover (from earlier post) with the cpa12 enclosure.
On those I liked the lpad in the middle position.
With the mltls I like no attenuation so I replaced the lpad with a 8.2r resistor that I had at hand.
Anyone else tried the lpad mod? How do you like it set?

You mentioning CPA12s.
Took me back years ago..
I had 3828s and HPDs in a pair of DIY'd 21mm BB GRF cabs.
As a fun experiment we put CPA12s in the big cabs.
Made a baffle plate to fit.
The 12" CPA blew us away.
Nearly as much deep bass as the 15" drivers.
Better mid bass, upper mid bass, mids / HF too!
The CPA12s were cheap as chips 2nd hand.
Cab volume matters.
Here's the original cabs
I have considered the same experiment with some pepper pot 3149 drivers and GRF cabinets I found on the cheap last year.
The cabinets need some going over and reinforcement but the motor boards are easily replaceable.

Slowly slowly the resin on the surround starts to accept it will lose this battle. The surround gets more supple and lets light through. I think that these high fs surrounds maybe have more of this stuff in them than other Tannoys...
However I will persist and win so now we need mouse glue. This is an actual product which is forbidden for use in the EU on rodents as this is considered a nasty way to kill them. However you are allowed to buy it which shows that our bureaucratic friends in Brussels have realized that we need this mouse glue for our surround restoration. This is way more empathic than ever dreamed possible. There is hope yet in these dark days.
