Hello, I just got some 1985 SDA CRS speakers. One of them has a replacement driver installed, a MW6501. One has a frozen driver, an original 6503. I would try to recenter the magnet to get it working again, but I figure it still won't match the 6501. So the question is, should I
A try to find a used 6501 to replace the frozen 6503, so both of the SDA drivers will match,
B try to find a 6503 to replace the mis-matched driver and repair the frozen driver?
I've searched the forum here, and I understand the early CRS is not the most desirable model, but I'm willing to work with it for now.

MW6501
MW 6501 1.47 5.96 N 3.25 E - 3N/M 7.75 Ohms 31 Hertz
MW6503
MW 6503 1.82 5.24 N 3.55 E - 3N/M 6.54 Ohms 29 Hertz
Pretty sure they used the 6501 because it was the closest to 6503

Get some spares, they are getting harder to aquire. MW6501in good shape is as hard to find as hens teeth. -
How many 6503’s do you want?

Thanks, I will do that. I figure I'll try to sell the MW6501 and buy the correct driver. -

Well if I try to fix the frozen 6503 I have, I only need one to replace the incorrect driver. If I'm lazy/ the price is right I will just get two 6503 and put off fixing the frozen driver. -
I'd take @Toolfan66 up on his offer. Trusted seller with mad packing skills.
