SEAS 5-tv hf tweeter

[damianl]

Im wondering if anyone has 1 or more of these for sale or if anyone knows where i can source them. One in my diy speakers has some sort of high range hiss and the cone is a little torn anyway.

 

[damianl]

i know there going to be hard to find but surely someone knows something...anything?

 

[sfreak]

Got an exact model number? How old is it et all.

 

[damianl]

i'm guessing about 1980? maybe earlier maybe later. "5-tv hf" is the exact model number. maybe sometimes called "5tv hf" or "5-television hf" im guessing these were used in tv's?

 

[damianl]

I have found them here for sale.

I cant read danish though. I have used a translator on this site and that wasn't much help. i couldn't translate the checkout etc parts of the site as they were secured. I also doubt they ship to australia anyway.

If anyone could read over the site and tell me if i can do this that would be appreciated.

BTW i just emailed them lets hope i get a reply.

Seas 5TV-HF is their standard hifi tweeter.It's earlier than we all think,at least early 60's or maybe even from the 50's.Normally has a faint greenish (or sometimes yellow)color:

It's a pity you live so far away from where I live(Sweden),since the freight costs will be too high and I've got several.Maybe you'll find someone that doesn't live on the other side of the earth!

 

[damianl]

How many and how much each? I am willing to pay all costs involved, i do understand postage costs could be high. I really need these tweeters and they are proving to be extremely rare.

 

[damianl]

they really are a small tweeter postage wouldnt be as much as we think

That it is...it sounds better (IMO) than some speakers i have heard costing thousands. I prefer it to all scanspeak and vifa's offerings just as an example.

Thats why im stressing to get these, being from 1950-60 i doubt they will be in circulation for long and what is left could very well be in poor condition. One of the ones i have has a cone that is very brittle, due to age im guessing.

**** they are an awesome tweeter if anyone ever sees these have a listen you will be surprised.

They dont make things quite the same these days.....

thanks!!

I also found this information extremely hard to find.

 

[damianl]

yay!!!

i have one on its way...now if i could only find 3 more

 

[sfreak]

My goodness. No need for all that, thats for sure. Have you contacted Seas direct? Perhaps they could put you in touch with a supplier that has a few. Worth a shot.

And they could probably tell you a suitable replacement.

Found some specs on them if you do need to find a replacement: http://www.seas.no/images/stories/vintage/pdfdataheet/from_the_70s_2.pdf

^ Driver up the top by the looks...

 

[damianl]

Thanks anyway im not after a replacement im after this exact tweeter. The sound is amazing. With less than 200 units left in the world i know its a long shot but im persistant.
