Replacement tweeter for LS70

The tweeter in one of my LS70s is shot. Polk wants $80 plus shipping for a replacement SL6000. Does anyone know where I can track one of these down? Or, does anyone have a recommendation for a good non-Polk replacement?

Either through Polk or Ebay, or someone on here. I would not put a non-polk replacement in a speaker as good as the LS-70. They were designed with the Sl-6000 in mind, i'd keep it that way.
Did you mention that you were on Club Polk when you talked to them? That's good for a discount.
$80 is a fairly small investment (at least in my eyes) to keep a speaker of that caliber in good working order.I don't read the newsssspaperssss because dey aaaallllllllll...... have ugly print.

No, I didn't think to mention that I'm a Club Polk member. I'll give it a try, but still hoping to find one either here or on Ebay (though no luck so far on that front). Thanks for your reply.

Start a WTB thread in the Flea Market, might luck out. I don't remember what the percentage off is through Polk, though... i want to say 20%, but that may be high.
If you give up, let me know as long as you aren't all the way across the country from me, i'll take them.

The other thing to ask Polk is whether the replacement is a trilaminate like the original. If not, you would probably not want different tweeter types in each speaker.
You may be able to find one through the FM.5.1 and 2.0 ch Basement Media Room: Outlaw 975/Emotiva DC-1/Rotel RB-1582 MKII/Rotel RB-1552/Audiosource Amp 3/Polk LS90, CS400i, FX500i/Outlaw X-12, LFM-1/JVD DLA-HD250/Da-Lite 100" HCCV/Sony ES BDP/Sonos Connect. DC-1/RB-1582 MKII/Sonos Connect also feed Polk 7C in garage or Dayton IO655 on patio.
2.1 ch Basement Gym: Denon AVR-2807/Klipsch Forte I or NHT SB2/JBL SUB 550P x 2/Chromecast Audio.
2.0 ch Living Room: Rotel RX-1052/Emotiva DC-1/Klipsch RF-7 III/Sony ES BDP/LG 65" LED.
