Thanks for the response on my first post, I have a lot to learn about these gems! first order of business is to get a interconnect cable for these. What's the best course of action?
How do I order the Compendium book?
Do I keep these OEM or go custom?
Couple of the Tweets sound out of whack, is that common?
And thanks for all the good comments about my lucky find on these last night and today.

    Again, the first order of business is to figure out which model you have. Can you help us with that?

    A picture would be really helpful...If he is sure these are tl's ( Pin/Blade...Sl3000 tweeters ) then it should be really simple...if he isnt sure ...then we go to the ohm meter and IC/Tweeter config to see what version SRS, 1.2's these are. Shoot a front and rear pic for us por favor

    I can't seem to get the pics to show up on this reply, they are on my post from the 13th. They are ok pics, will this be enough for specifying how to do the interconnect cable..

    The blade of the blade/pin connector is the second conductor for the AI-1 isolation transformer.

    That is correct. If you check the back plate you will see that the blade is wired to the bottom negative post which is where the SDA array comes off of.

    I took video RCA gold heavy gauge for round pin, then took standard RCA and flattend with hammer just so it fits snug into the flat pin space. It seems to work well. Great advice!!!!!!
    Now for the tweeters, it sounds like I have a bad one in the right, sounds like it has static in it. Is that an indication of a blown tweeter(SL 3000). If I go through each one do I test it through something as small as an ipod? or just run off my system at low volume. Thanks again for the finer points on getting these beauties sounding the way they should.
