RT8 Crossover(?)

Thought this may be better suited here.

Hey guys, I hope this is in the right place.

I have a pair of RT8's I am reviving, the tweeters were blown and I replaced them last night, one speaker was a great success, however on the other I have no output from the tweeter. After doing some swaps (made sure it wasn't a tweeter issue) I think I have determined the only thing that can be at fault is the crossover, I pulled it out and it looks fine physically (also drive the mid fine) so I am lost, any suggestions, or anywhere I can buy one crossover for an RT8? I haven't looked for a crossover model number yet that will be my first step.

Thanks for any help guys, and I am glad to be here, I may have several more posts as I revive this mid 90's system.

Hello,
Thanks for posting and welcome to the CP Forum. It may be a long shot but try contacting Polk's CS at polkcs@polkaudio.com or telephone them at 1-800-377-7655. Most likely you'll have to identify the defective part, on the crossover, and replace it yourself. There shouldn't be too many parts in the high pass section.

Thanks Ken, I appreciate the tip. Guess I need to get out the multimeter and start experimenting.

If you haven't already found them, the crossover schematics are here:

Thanks for the link, I found the right schematic, now I just need to figure out which bit is bad.

If I am unsuccessful does anyone know if the entire assembly can be purchased anywhere other than ebay or a lucky stop at an electronics store?
