tvdantv Posted January 20, 2015 Report Share Posted January 20, 2015 I recently acquired a T1030 set that has one blown tweeter. Does anyone know what other tweeters from the BA line will fit the T1030?Needs same: mounting holes, plate size and impedance.Maybe A70 Series II?? From pix on-line it seems to be the closest size and shape of mounting plate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tvdantv Posted January 23, 2015 Author Report Share Posted January 23, 2015 I spoke w/ the Tech Support and Parts departments at BA today. Here's what I found:The following models all use the same tweeter (according to the Parts Dept)A70 Series IIA100 Series IIIA150 Series IIIT930 Series IT930 Series IIT1030They no longer have any in stock. But this a pretty healthy list to go off of while searching for a donor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tvdantv Posted January 23, 2015 Author Report Share Posted January 23, 2015 Just to cover all of the bases I spoke w/ the East Coast BA authorized repair center. They used to be able to repair the dome tweeters (swap our diaphragms), but are not longer able to get the replacement parts to the tweeter assemblies. It appears that finding a used single (or pair) is my only option.After reading other posts regarding this tweeter, I did take apart the assembly to inspect the leads as they exit the terminals. Both leads are in tact until they enter the diaphragm. Where ever the break is, I can't get to it to put in a jumper.EAST COAST: Boston Acoustics Regional Service by:United Radio5717 Enterprise ParkwayEast Syracuse, NY 130571-800-634-8606- See more at: http://www.bostonacoustics.com/US/Support/pages/ServiceCenters.aspx#sthash.xO9be6n7.4uPyfHRW.dpuf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tvdantv Posted February 1, 2015 Author Report Share Posted February 1, 2015 I found a used set of tweeters out of an A 70 II pair. They are a perfect fit for the T1030.The project is coming along nicely. I hope to get the woofers to Bill at Millersound by mid-February for new surrounds and his upgrades/mods (mass loading the cone and basket, damping coating on the cone, stiffening the cone at it's throat to the voice coil.)

charlie2951 Posted December 17, 2015 Report Share Posted December 17, 2015 This is very helpful, thank you tvdantv. I also recently acquired a pair of T1030s with one blown tweeter. Just ordered a T930 series II as a replacement! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JKent Posted December 17, 2015 Report Share Posted December 17, 2015 I hope to get the woofers to Bill at Millersound by mid-February for new surrounds and his upgrades/mods (mass loading the cone and basket, damping coating on the cone, stiffening the cone at it's throat to the voice coil.)I've said this before--I usually take a dim view of "improving" classic speakers BUT Bill LeGall is a true speaker wizard and if he recommends a mod, it's worth doing! Good luck with those speakers.-Kent Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tvdantv Posted February 14, 2016 Author Report Share Posted February 14, 2016 I've been using these speakers for about a year now in our formal living room. We could not be happier with their fidelity. Bill found that the spiders were shot in all four woofers. It appears that the previous owner continued to drive the speakers after the surrounds were deteriorated. Amazingly, the voice coils were still good. Bill replaced the spiders, surrounds and dust caps. He is an artist. Lots of cleaning and deodorizing, a replacement tweeter, four rebuilt woofers, and a little running around... it all worked out for under $200 and they play "like new".
