HI Mike,
I'm repairing Peavey Acoustic guitar amp for a buddy, and it has a blown tweeter diaphragm. The diaphragm is part of a 12 inch, Blue Marvel, CoAxial speaker.
Can you direct me to a place that I might buy one?
Thanks very much!

I think you can link to dealers based on zip code

You may also purchase the coaxial speaker direct from the factory by calling toll free at 1-877-732-8391 and selecting the "Parts Department" option. They will be glad to take your parts order.

Now that's service! Give Fender a call sometime and see how well you get treated. I just had the joy of fixing a Hot Rod Deluxe for a guy here in Nashville, Ga. The Fender Rep was down at Rutland's Music at the time I called. He was no help at all! Treated me like a second class citizen! I finally found parts online at Antique Electronics!

Peavey service is unmatched in the industry! If you repaired amps for a while like I have, you would discover that very fast.

Ok, off my soapbox now!!!<font size="1" color="#8e236b"><p align="center">[This message was edited by Ken Fox on 28 March 2005 at 10:36 AM.]</p></FONT>

HI Mike,
Thanks very much for the reply, I'll give them a call tomorrow.
That tweeter diaphragm is a simple replacement. It seems kind of silly to replace the entire speaker when a drop-in diaphragm will do the job, no?
I sent an Email the the Peavey Parts dept.
Hopefully they'll sell the diaphragm.
Thanks again,

Unfortunately, the tweeter assembly is part of the speaker assembly. So, the tweeter diaphram is not replacable without replacing the complete speaker.

HI Mike,
I dont mean to be contrary, but the tweeter diaphragm is held in place by a retaining bezel, that's in turn held in place by 3 screws.
Remove the screws, pop off the bezel, unsolder the 2 color coded wires, and the diaphragm (with alignment holes in each end, so you can't install it improperly) pops right out.
Less than a minute.
Looks like a plain and simple 1 inch dome tweeter. Suspended in cooling grease, but the grease stays put in the gap.
Very similar to the old, larger, 22a.
