    I'll get a sticky thread locked in with a section for each tweeter in the next few days.

    If anyone has additional pictures of their vintage tweeters, feel free to post them here as I'd like to have multiple photos of each one.

    I'll post some pics of the peerless tweeters in my Monitor 10's later tonight.

    Mainly the SL series, the rest don't have enough discussion to worry about them.
    CTC BBQ Amplifier, Sonic Frontiers Line3 Pre-Amplifier and Wadia 581 SACD player. Speakers? Always changing but for now, Mission Argonauts I picked up for $50 bucks, mint.

    As we all know, the tweeter tells a lot about how old or what model your vintage Polk speakers are. The concept of this thread is for people to post detailed pics of their SL 1k/2k/2.5k tweeters, and what speaker they are from.

    I'll start. This is an original SL1000 tweeter from a Monitor 5jr speaker, dated Feb 23, 1984-

    When I bought the speakers, there was also one that had a warranty sticker on it. The front looked exactly the same, and the back had this sticker-

    Anyone else? I'll take a pic of my SL2500's in my Monitor 10 Series 2's when I get home.

    SL1000 marked 5514 at backside?
