Why not just buy him a decent pair of speakers instead? Too much trouble trying to find a tweeter for so-so speakers that not only is the correct size but matching with the existing crossover is going to be next to impossible without getting into measurements. Then again you could try Ebay and maybe get lucky.

these are my dads POS speakers... have a question.

as they havent been made for over 20 years parts are no longer
available based on the original part numbers, the Speakers are Technics SB-L52
they are 60 Watt output at 8 ohms.

Can I buy tweeters that are compatible at 60 watts and 8 ohms?

How is the speaker size measured?

You can probably buy a drop-in replacement. You care about crossover frequency, efficiency, impedence and mounting diameter.

If he can find the crossover frequency, impedence, mounting diameter, and effiency, I'd be surprised if he can't find something appropriate at Parts Express.

Of course, we don't know if the crossover is still healthy or not.

These guys are pretty awesome. If it can be had, they can fix or supply replacements. They service Technics speakers (and just about every other kind). Just email them your issues and they will advise. Link at bottom of page.

They are awesome. I have bought countless re-foam kits from them and all thier stuff fits perfectly. If you have old JBL's that you just cannot part with like me, Orange County is your best bet. They also carry the midrange drivers and the various Titanium dome tweeters of many different JBL models.
