The little flat wires on both sides of the part that connects the diaphram to the dome have been disconnected. How can I reconnect them?

Is there a way to get at the voicecoil (wire under the dome on a 1" short cylindrical former) without unwinding too much?
Soldering the back to the wires still hanging on the mounting frame is going to be a royal pain, but it's possible.
Much better to find a replacement driver, if that's possible, as it's likely to break again and dressing the leads will be tricky.
Are there any non-stock replacements worth considering? I have yet to find a thread concluding whether a compatable tweeter exists (without mods to the baffle and xo).Quote:

Aftermarket diaphragm (not the entire tweeter) is about as inexpensive a fix as I can think of that would be more reliable than surgery on your voicecoil wires. An alternative is eBay etc... or a shout out here for a used 033.
