    L212 drivers

    066 tweeter
    LE5-9 midrange
    112A/H midwoofer (same as 2108)
    Yes, subwoofer is 121.

    All NLA; They show up on ebay (in order of declining frequency): LE5-9, 066, 112/2108 (rarely), 121 (hardly ever).

    Nice sounding system,though; definitely worth the floor space.

    Are you certain that the driver is dead ? Have you checked all the solder connections at the lead in wires on the driver. Does the cone make any scratch noises if you move it with your fingers ?
    You must check this first

    Hello Oliver

    Unfortunately the cone kits for these drivers are few and far between. To make things even more difficult what you need are the older ribbed cone kits. The newer kits are smooth and are lighter than the original kits. You might be better off trying to get a replacement driver from E-Bay or with some luck someone here may have a spare they can part with.

    The speaker is super quite! no scrating no music... I am thinking its the little thread under the dustcaps that is broken.

    But i found a firm that recones and changes foamring, they had some original 112a cones, used but working!

    *yeey!*

    So i am going to send all 3 elements down to them and wait...

    Sadly the ultrabass amp is dead too, the fuse burns of when i start it! gonna leave it to a place called "Sontec", they will hopfully restor the amp for me!

    I am going to biamp the l212 with 2x H/K Sixteen amps, briged! and a Seveteen preamp
