Model 5 MW driver confusion

I'm confused about the MW drivers in my model 5's. One is starting to get a little scratchy at times, so I'm trying to find out which version of this driver is the correct replacement. The spare parts PDF on this site seems to indicate the 6502, but that's for the 5B and the Series II. I'm not sure if I've got those, so I took the scratchy one out to look at it. It's marked as a MW6600X, which isn't even on the replacement parts list. I left an email with Polk Customer Service through this site, but haven't heard back yet. Anyone have any experience with accurately identifying the M5 versions and/or the correct MW driver for that model? I"m not the original owner, so I can't say all parts are original.

Model 10 since 1977
Mini Monitor II since 1981
Model 5 since 2010
PSW50 since 2008 (Just what the Mini Monitors needed!)

    My 5B's from 1984 have the MW-6502. I believe that these are still available from Polk. I recall that the MW6600x was used interchangeably with another MW but I don't remember which right now. I can look it up later. Better yet, call Polk CS.
