I'm looking for 4 MW6510's and two SL2000's to repair a set of RTA 11TL's that were dropped and the magnets fell off most of the drivers and one tweet, but would like to have the complete set to rebuild ( nothing wrong with the cabinets or crossovers). In my opinion they're worth rebuilding.

    Welcome to the forums. Since you have the "TL", the tweeter should be the SL3000 (original) or the RDO-198 (upgrade silk dome). The RDO-198 is available through Polk Audio's parts department for about $48 each (mention that you are a Polk forum member for this price and free ship).

    Once you get things squared away, you might want to upgrade some of the crossover components. I was amazed at the difference it made.

    I figure that the original owner was inside the cabinets then. I have already pulled all the components from the cabinets (which are in premo condition for their age) the drivers were all MW6510 (newer version) and both tweets are the CL2000's (newer version) the crossovers are in good shape have not looked at them close enough to see if they have been touched. When I first purchased them they sounded amazing and all I push them with is a Marrantz zr6001 which I purchased on e-bay for 75+shipping. I love the sound from these and figure it's well worth rebuilding them. I'm trying to see if I can get the parts off the forum first (save some dollars) but if I can't find the parts here I have decided to order them strait from polk.
    I would however be interested in tweeking them while I'm at it, I have heard you can buy crossover upgrades and would appreciate any info or links
