I was lucky also @ $50. ea. in mint cond. 10 yrs. ago. The caps
are over 50 yrs. old, so I'd get those replaced asap, maybe the coils
later. You risk blowing the tweeter horn at least, and as far as I know,
zero diaphragms avail. Caps (electrolytic) can double in value when they go bad, so...

and woofer circuits? The modification article seems to be saying to use a polypropylene cap in both circuits and to bypass the tweeter cap with a .1uF polypropylene cap as well. The language about magnetic leads on the electrolytic caps has me totally confused.Thanks for scaring me into the cap replacement, as I would not want thse horn tweeters destroyed.

I'd do at least the minimum quality...Daytons (Parts Express) or
Solens. I'm thinking Daytons myself. I don't know which caps might
use magnetic (plated steel?) leads, but best avoided I'd think.
Not as important to use film caps on woofer, but may as well.
You want 10% tolerance as a minimum.
I hear both arguments about bypass caps, pro and con. May or
may not make any audible gains.
