Hi everyone
I have one 808 8b HF driver and one 802 8d HF driver.
The 808 8b is missing it's tangerine phase plug. Apparently
the previous owner tossed it after it came loose?!
Anyway, I would like to find (purchase) a tangerine phase plug for
the 808 8b. And then swap (sell/purchase) one of the drivers so
that I'll end up with a set of either 808 8b's or a set of 802 8d's.
Any input appreciated...thanks.
Good luck finding just the phase plug. Maybe you can locate a damaged driver and steal the tangerine from that. I know that bowtie found a loose tangerine for a driver of his that needed it, but I don?t know where he sourced it.
Otherwise, I would ditch the 808B, and just stick with the 802D. I like the sound of the metal phase plug better.

Maybe you could get one 3D printed....
Good idea!
Never thought of 3D printing. I have a friend that might be able to do it.
I have come close to obtaining a parts driver but just missed out.
And I agree I prefer the 802 8d to the 808 8b , however the 808 8b
could be converted to a 802 8g with a light diaphragm change down the road....thanks.
Problem with 3D printing is you need an accurate 3D drawing of the part. Where you gonna get that?
Great Plains has a newer design phase plug based on the Tangerine that may fit. Maybe they will sell you a plug? Would at least get the driver functional.
I have a pair of 808 with no diaphragms I might be talked out of. Transitional model, they have the newer tapered body but still metal phase plug.
Your neighbors called. They like your music.
Old Guy, do they look like these?
