Do you know of a good online source for drivers? Web searches have been pretty pointless so far. I have a relatively nice pair of floor standing loudspeakers I've had since the late 80's, and a few days ago the all-important supertweeter gave up on the left side.
I don't have much of a budget for this, the speakers in question originally only cost a few hundred dollars, and even with the modifications I've made aren't worth much more than that. Considering my currently budget-pressed state I don't want to spend more than around $40-$50/pair for the new tweeters.
I want to replace these with something as close as possible to the originals, which were polycarbonate domes with a frequency range of up to 22kHz and nominal impedance of 8Ω. The box they're in has them matched with a 1" polyurethane dome tweeter, 4" PVA-doped paper cone midrange with good HF response, and a front ported 12" polypropylene cone woofer. I don't have the exact crossover frequencies or ranges of the individual drivers, but you can look at the schematic for the crossover (If you want to call it that) here.
You can also have a look at the back of it and the decorative faceplate if you really want to know what I'm looking for. Any suggestions are welcome.

An externally hosted image should be here but it was not working when we last tested it.

This one looks like it might be a good match. Right size, pretty reasonable price, and it even looks similar, there's also a significantly less expensive option that goes all the way to 25kHz and is a reasonable match in terms of sensitivity, and nearly identical in appearance. Thanks for all of the great links.

David Levy has a couple of interesting leftovers.
Saw this (leftover NHT drivers) the other day in another thread here:

We really need a sticky for collecting these surplus suppliers. Maybe there is?
