Zenith Allegro 3000 tweeters

[son1cdity]

Hi all-
I recently came across my dad's old Zenith Allegro 3000's in my attic, and decided to try them out. The subs work fine, although one has a slight tear, but the horn tweeters are blown in both cabinets. I really want to fix these up so that they're in good working condition. On the back of the tweeters it says:
49-1288
Foster
7820 Japan
8620
Would I be able to buy new tweeters to replace them, or would I have to find old tweeters from back in the day on ebay or something?

I have a set in the boxes still (shown here during a speakerectomy) and probably some on a shelf somewhere. Let me have a look on Monday when I'm back. I'm not sure what they are worth though, have you looked on ebay or Craigslist? Judging by the date code mine are a year newer. Do yours still look like the first picture?

Too bad you're not closer we could arrange for you to have the speakers not just the tweeter. 😉

Actually, maybe Dave's got some of those he could get to you. I'll ask in the backroom.

That is the newer Foster tweeter. I've had a few pair thru here, don't think i have any on hand. Barry might, but if you can talk Cal out of his, you'd be good to go.

That looks exactly like the speakers I have, but I don't want to have a perfectly good pair of speakers torn up just for their tweeters, so I think seeing if you have any on a shelf somewhere first would be best. Also there was a couple of ebay auctions selling a set of 3 similar tweeters on ebay for like $15, but I don't know how they compare with the ones we are talking about ZENITH/FOSTER 3.5" HORN TWEETERS/ 49-1168/ 8 OHM
Let's talk more about price once you see if you have some lying around or not.

OK will do.

I have been remiss in my attempts, I will try and remember tomorrow.

Turns out I don't have the 1288's but I do have the 1166's which are pretty good. They are very much 'pre-loved' but work just fine. Send me a PM if you still need them. I think you will like them better than the ebay ones. I have some of those too.
