I recently bought a 802C driver that has what I think is the original diaphragm. It is an Altec diaphragm, but I can?t make out all the numbers on the back, but it ends in 814. I noticed when I was looking at it that the diaphragm surround has some cracks in it. I bought it as a parts unit, figuring I would have to get a new diaphragm.
Is there any way I can rig this up to work for while? I was thinking super glue, but I know the surround moves and super glue dries hard.

I figure if I find another 802C body I?ll send the pair in for a recharge and new diaphragms. Makes me wish I had kept the last 802C body I came across.

My other question is there any sonic difference between a 802C and an 802D, assuming they are both reach recharged and with a GPA diaphragm? I have a really clean pair of 802D, and a beat up pair of 802G. Just wondering if I should try to add a pair of 802C to my HF driver collection....

I noticed on the edge of the 802C phase plug there are some extra little slits that the 802D phase plugs don?t have. What?s that about?
