066 tweeter

[hapy._.face]

I have a bad tweeter (066) that I'm wanting to take apart, and attempt a repair. Problem is- I don't know how. There are three pins that appear to be holding the magnet sections together. I assume this is the only way "in". Can anyone give me any insight??

One more qustion: What (if any) parts are replaceable so that I can get it working again??

Unless you can snag a kit that someone has your in trouble. JBL dosen't have anymore. Maybe someone here can advise you if there is an alternative. There is no aftermarket available that I know of.

That sucks. It's a nice tweeter (when working).Anyone know of a good alternative to slip in my L212's?? Giskard?

You might be able to go with 044 tweeters if they fit. The 044 takes a 4 3/4" hole for mounting and three holes through the baffle.


Beyond that good luck on eBay. Being a legacy item expect to be fleeced.

Guess now's the time to bypass and prop up the Smith horn I've been lusting after (especially after hearing "norealtalent's" the other day) Thanks...

I think I have a kit or two left. I'll get back to you when I have time to dig through some boxes. I might have used all my kits up for Audiobeer's huge restoration project.

Being new here I thought I would see if there are any available kits for the 066. I have a pair and one of the leads broke due to my coffee drinking skills (one too many cups).

If anyone knows of a kit, or has one, please let me know.

Thanks

If the lead is broken , and that is it's only issue- it's well worth the effort to salvage it any way you can. I eventually tore mine down and salvaged what I thought was a "bad" tweeter- turns out the lead was loose. I was also able to reshape a punched in dome and touch it all up a bit. If there are any kits available- they will be expensive- trust me. You might be better off buying a whole different 066 tweeter for the same money...

I have a "working" 066, but looks horrible, smashed and dented.. $20.00 as-is. Thanks, Rolf.

I just fixed one badly dented one by just sucking the dent out.Fyi the average for a pair on ebay is over 200$.There are 2 pairs right now under jbl/vintage one pair is at 10${one is dented} the other pair is higher but I forget how high.
