    I can't recommend this enough... Always keep your original gear,especially when you have all the original parts..You will always receive much more money reselling vintage speakers if they are all original.. And besides, once broken up another original pair will bite the dust.. Like Altec they won't be making any more new ones.

    BTW- If you ever do decide to add a super tweeter the horn in the heath is up high so you wouldn't need to cut the baffle you can simply mount/lay the tweeter on the top of cabinet without any cabinet cuts without any issues IMHO..

    But as has been already noted changing driver/crossover seems to be the least amount of work to get were you would like to be.
