Don't laugh. Need a good MW6511

As the title says, I have a driver with a damaged and glued surround I'd like to replace. I know they're tough to track down these days but if anyone happens to be sitting on a spare I'd be happy to pay a fair price for it. Would buy a pair if I get that lucky.

Thanks in advance, and wish me luck!

I've had some folks use these. No issues

@VR3 if I can't find any in a reasonable time frame I'll do that, but they aren't an exact visual match so if I can find originals I'd prefer it.

Beggars can't be choosers, I know!

Funny how they are now saying the 6502 is suitable as replacement for a 6511.

MW 6502 1.97 5.16 N 1.47 E - 3N/M 3.52 Ohms 44 Hertz

MW 6511 1.405 4.34 N 3.496 E - 3N/M 3.13 Ohms 29 Hertz

MW 6512 1.905 4.99 N 1.588 E - 3N/M 3.466 Ohms 40 Hertz

Looks closer to the MW6512 than the MW6511

I know it's a long shot as I don't know the specs on this one, but I have a minty 6517 that should be a visual match at least... Maybe someone knows the specs?
