    Read the values on the components.

    You can twist the black and yellow caps to see the values as needed. If the wires break, you were planning on replacing them anyway :p Or you could cut the wires from the caps now.

    I could be WRONG but I might guess they are 12uF and 27uF (maybe 24uF)

    Has anyone actually measured the inductor values for the 7B?

    7A or 7B? I thought the 7A had the peerless and the 7B had the SL2000. The "schematic_m7_orig.pdf" and "schematic_m7_rev.pdf" are for the SL2000 / RD0194 tweeters. The "schematic_m7_rev2.pdf" are for the SL2500 / RD0198 tweeters.

    I don't have 7A spec's, but I thought there was one schematic pdf floating around here for it.

    Related/Unrelated, I should have inductor values for the 5A and 5 Series 2 sometime this spring.

    Indeed, you are wrong.

    The info was posted on the first page.

    12uF
    34uF

    I was WRONG on both counts :(. I now see the 7B in on the cup.

    I also found a (the) schematic, but the inductors were not listed. :(

    Nice to see my contributions to the forum are still going. Been a long time.

    I miss my 7b's. One of the better sounding polk's i've ever owned.
