Hello all.
I recently grabbed 3 Tannoy 15" drivers, possibly 3833 or similar. Unfortunately two of them have blown high frequency diaphragms.
Noticed the diaphragm is NLA but was wondering if there was a way to repair them. Look to be the 7900 0550 type but I may be wrong.
The whole setup was too good of a deal to pass up but I couldn't test them due to SpeakOn connectors. Got 3 Tannoys, 3 TC Sounds LMS 15" subwoofers, and a single TC Sounds LMS 5400 18" sub. Out of everything, there's 2 blown 15s and 2 blown Tannoy diaphragms. Are the voice coils in the subs repairable as well?
I've refoamed countless drivers but that's the extent of my speaker repair experience. Had to sell my Tannoy Golds to help fund a business purchase and have been on the hunt for something similar since. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks, I missed the bit about repair on the Speaker Exchange site. Sent an email off to Lockwood as well, though I'm less than hopeful. Even if I could just find one, that'll give me a working pair.
These were in custom cabinets with a TC Sounds 15" per for low end duty. No crossovers, just BSS management units. I'm fairly certain the previous owner hooked them up without said BSS units in line and fried the diaphragms.

Fingers crossed!
There is another trustworthy Tannoy specialist in Australia.
Melbourne I think but I can't for the life of me remember their name.
Silly abuse is pretty much the only way to kill Tannoy tweeters. They are quite robust generally.
