Perfect mechanical condition. They are used daily in home theater, music, etc. There are three choice from Crossover Chef in eBay:

Option 1 $500

Option 2: $710

Option 3: $550

My speakers are in perfect mechanical condition but all original components on the crossovers. Powered by a sufficient amp. LOL.

    Forget all that! Your just throwing money into inferior parts. Go all poly caps, the electrolytic caps are junk. In ten years you'll be in the same situation as you are now with those.
    Reach out to @VR3, do it right. Buy once, cry once!
    You will not regret it!!

    You only live once, you asked, I answered and am more likely in the majority in my opinion. That being said you got to do in the end with what you feel comfortable doing. Remember not every capacitor sounds the same. Some brands are far worse that others.
    Those the guy on ebay uses NedLab, which I do not find anywhere but ebay. NedLabs site is all about OEM drivers (transducers) for other loudspeaker companies. I see they, NedLab partner up with Solen capacitor company. They may allow NedLab to sticker Solen products. Solend can be very harsh and strident in the upper frequencies.
    Be careful.

    NONE of those 3 choices are worth spending your money on for all of the reasons pitdogg2 mentioned and then some.

    There's plenty of crossover upgrade info here, so please take a look.

    Here's a great source on the sonic signatures of more capacitors than you probably care to know about, but read it anyway.

    Any crossover upgrades you do will be wasted unless you get rid of those nasty SL2000 tweeters. Call Polk and order eight RD0194-1. That's a zero not an O.
