i'm looking at pair tubejunkie has and so far everything i've gotten from him has been a decent deal. and the packing / shipping time has been great. Altec Lansing Model 288 8L HF Compression Driver Pair w Closely Matching DCRS | eBay.

I think that's a great deal. I have a pair mated to 311-90's and they sound great. I think the "L" is closer tolerance...which tolerance I don't know.
Those are some big doggies.
I'd buy these and have them GPA'd, have "new" drivers while saving coin at the same time.

I "think" the only difference between the K and L versions are that the L's are also drilled and tapped for the 4 bolt large format mounting convention.

I was looking at that. But the spec sheets say they use the same phram but they have different spl ratings. They have the same magnet and everything else so it doesn't sense that the spl is different. So I was banking on a safe bet. And they have no end caps

Surprisingly inexpensive(IMO) from GPA.And they have no end caps
I don't think there's anything wrong with the deal in your OP at all, can't go wrong either way really.
In my own little world, new phragms are much akin to new strings on a guitar. That, coupled with the economy of well priced cores is my attraction to rehabbing the dead ones more than anything else.
