    Or try Ebay, you think you only need one now?

    http://www.ebay.com/itm/Original-Polk-Audio-Speaker-Driver-MW-6510-6-1-2-SDA-CRS-SDA-II-/221165741972

    The 6510 will pop up quite often for $30 + shipping
    The 6511's are quite rare.

    The new ones are China?
    I have heard that they are ok.
    Ask for Helen they are about $50

    Agree, just have to make sure the seller will pack them well enough. Its been 50/50 for me getting them off ebay and arriving not damaged.

    At the moment I need a total of three. I am going to try and repair the old ones but I wouldn't mind having a few on hand just in case.

    If they are all 3 MW6510 consider yourself lucky like I said the 6511 are very scarce.
    You could buy new ones and take time repairing the old ones and or looking for originals.
    If you can afford it get 4 new ones, 2 for each speaker, that way all of your 6510's will be the same.
    I have been fortunate I have got 4 off ebay no problems. No they don't go out that easy I just have a stash :biggrin:

    Do the 6510s have the magnet-shifting problems of the other midbass drivers? I can't remember what I have in my Polk 7As and 5As (6501s I think) but I've lost 3 drivers when the magnets shifted. Now all of my drivers have epoxy on them to keep them from shifting. If I were buying from ebay I would make sure that the drivers were similarly prepped or otherwise would buy new from Polk for piece of mind.
