I’m having a hard time locating a replacement for the original. To make my life harder, I have no real skill to do a repair myself. Other than simple continuity test across the fuse,

And you know for a fact that x/o network has failed?
Usually it's the drivers that fail, and then perhaps some of the x/o parts.

What are the symptoms you’re seeing to make you believe there is a crossover issue?
I think most people that would choose to help you with need to know that type of information before offering advice on how to proceed.

First connect the "dead" speaker to the other amplifier channel.
Maybe it's the amplifier, not the speaker.

Thanks that prompted me to check the output on the receiver. And it is my old Sansui. Thank you guys for the help! I jumped to the worst conclusion!
6thplanet is right. You need to replace the woofer surround asap!
Glad the crossover still works, but I'd replace the non polarized electrolytic caps (the green and blue ones) with equivalent ones anyway.
You remove them and you find equivalent non polarized (important!) electrolytic capacitors, they have to be of the same capacity (uF or also MFD) and the same voltage, it the voltage is a bit higher it's fine, but it must not be lower. You can also replace them with polyester MKT or polypropylene MKT capactors instead of non polarized electrolytic for a small upgrade. The "rules" about capacity and voltages still apply.
You can buy them on parts express.
Very often I've seen them fail in a short and take the drivers (or the amp...) with them!
