Hello everyone..it's nice to be here. My name's daf and I was lucky enough to come across a Kustom III Mixer/PA in a local music shop for a price I couldn't pass up. The only thing wrong with the gear (other than normal wear and tear) is that one of the horn drivers is damaged.

I cracked open the cab and opened up the driver to find the problem. A tiny little scratch on the coil not more than 3 mm long!

Now I'm trying to figure out how to proceed. Do I pay a speaker tech to rebuild the coil? OR are there other horn drivers out there that will fit and provide similar performance? Are there folks that keep OEM replacements in stock and how much might they run?

Unfortunately, since I can't find the specs for this part, I don't even know where to begin looking for a replacement. The only identifying marking on the driver says: "Kustom 743"

Anyone know anything about this driver? Impedance, power rating, frequency range and response..etc?

Any information would really help me get these beauties back on stage where they belong.

Thanks in advance for the help.
