Snell E type ll crossover rebuild thoughts


I have an original set that I like very much. But am I missing something? They are getting old. I have rebuilt quite a few crossovers (cap replacement). Changing values, circuitry is above my skill level.
I hesitate to go the typical film route.

Has anyone performed this with success? Your advice, thoughts, cautions are as always, appreciated.

Hi pkvintage,
I have Snell E II’s and sent you a PM. Erik gave me guidance when I tackled the crossover. I would follow his advice and replace the capacitor bundle (should be 5.6uf) in series with the tweeter with a good quality film cap (Clarity CSA or CMR and Erik would probably recommend adding a .01uf Audyn True Copper bypass).  Without test equipment I would just replace the old NPE’s with new NPE’s and swap out the sandcast resistors with Mills.
