Peerless "made in Denmark" tweeter and crossovers for Monitor 7B

I am the original owner of two Monitor 7Bs purchased in 1982. Well cared for, the drivers and cabinets look nearly new. However in 1999-2000 one of the tweeters went out. It was replaced by a shop with (according to the label): Peerless Made in Denmark, Qc 990616 Cat #810665, 8 ohm, date stamped 16699." The other, original tweeter has the dimple and is marked 751.43.581, which maybe indicates that it was also made in Denmark. I'm preparing to recap the speakers and I'm wondering if I need to worry about trying to replace or match the tweeters before I do this.Thanks.

Gotcha.
Some say they sound slightly different. If you want a matching original (with the small hole) they come up on eBay.Political Correctness'.........defined

Photos show the "orig" tweeter and xover found in one speaker (7B42337) and the "repl" replacement tweeter and xover found in the second, repaired speaker (7B42333). To my knowledge both the xovers are all original and have not been modified.

If you haven't noticed an audible difference between the two tweeters over the last 18 years I think you'll be ok.Political Correctness'.........defined

Shame on me -- they've been in storage for most of those 18 years. So I'm resurrecting some old friends. But can't say I heard a noticeable difference when I recently hooked them up.

Thanks. I'll probably go ahead and update the caps & resistors and binding posts, and keep an eye out for a matching tweeter. I noticed that on one of your projects you abandoned the boards attached to the binding post cups and used point-to-point wiring. Looked really clean.
