Yes, you need the N-3000 E ..........
or a reasonable facsimile. The N-3000 E is a frequency dividing network, a "crossover", which sends the low frequencies to the woofer and the high frequencies to the "tweeter" in the center of the woofer. Are you able to post a picture of your cabinet with the N-3000E still mounted ? If you removed the screw and the knob doesn't come off , either there is a second screw or the knob is just stuck from old age. You could try a penatrating oil or some WD-40 behind the knob where it sits on the metal shaft of the potentiometer and see if that helps. Those are very nice drivers, so be very careful handling them. Don't feed that 602 a signal without using a crossover as it will sound like crap and you could do damage to the driver. Good Luck, Paul
Very unlikely that Amazon will carry anything that would help, but
you could contact Bill at Great Plains Audio http://www.greatplainsaudio.com/ He is a former Altec Lansing Employee that still makes and services Altec speakers and parts. I know for sure that he makes and sells a crossover for the 604/605 duplex , so making or having one for the 602 shouldn't be a problem. Give him a call or email. Good Luck ! Paul, Providence
