RE: Electro-Voice Regal lll

Building a new xover not in the can would be your decision but you can pop the bottom cover with minimal to no damage to the can if your careful.
The inductors (coils) in the can are probably air core and should be reusable. Unless they really saved a buck but my 1978 EV xovers still had air core inductors in them.
The side edges of the can with the mounting flange would be a bit stronger so maybe you can confine the prying to those two locations?
Yes, the 300 has different drivers and crossover than the 200 but they should still sound good.
The 200 low end crosses over lower. I think around 400HZ and to an 8 inch cone mid driver but the high range crossover is the same at 3500HZ.
The Esquire and Regal had at least a couple of revisions. I believe the older Regal had a mid and high level pot and yours seems to have one pot, probably for the tweeter.
If that's the case you may find that if you recap with new film & Foil caps you may need to add a resistor in the mid line to cut it back a little. Maybe .25 to .50 ohms? Or it may be OK with you as is.
