I need an L6506 or an L6502 tweeter to complete a rescue of a CS-400.

    By not needing these, you mean the pictures. I trust you without them.

    Yes, I will take it for that price. I will PM you my address to estimate shipping and to make payment arrangements.

    I had to use epoxy to fix a cracked corner of the grill. Then, I recovered the cloth - that was easy and econimical - 3M heavy duty spray adhesive and some Parts Express black cloth that I had extra of.

    I already upgraded the x-over so once I get the tweeter, I will slap it all together. I can do that now that Polk CS is sending me some of those funky hex-head screws - they are first-rate.

    Are the tweeters not available from Polk any more?
    I ordered one for my RT1000p (same tweeter) just a couple of years ago.

    It is hard to pack that tweeter, if you don't have the original box. With the original box - it's a piece of cake ;).

    I just shipped this today, Priority Mail, so you should have it by Monday or Tuesday by my estimation, CA 2 TX. I'll send you the details privately.

    It really is a PITA to pack a tweeter properly. I tried three times since Wednesday before I was happy that it had a good chance of arriving undamaged. The problem is the soft dome, which protrudes out further than any of the rigid parts, and the fact that the magnet and other parts actually weigh enough to cause shifting, so I just jammed it into the corner of a box with some bubble wrap tightly holding it away from the top edge.

    I don't think it cost me more than $10-15 extra to get the new replacement SL6511 from Polk, even after tax and shipping was applied, but I think they actually gave me a huge discount on the MSRP. Great c/s as always.

    Tweeter arrived today. Unique, but very effective packaging. Don't forget to send me your PayPal addy so I can get you some money asap.
