    I think you probably know way more than I do about this, but I am not sure that it would be a good trade to use a piezo tweeter. I found a manual for this cab:

    Attenuater knobs don't work too well with piezos. Also, particularly in a bass cab, they would not need a crossover. At least that is my understanding. Unfortunately the manual doesn't tell you much about what sort of tweeter it came with, just that the crossover frequency is 3.5 kHz.

    ...so I did a little more digging, and I think the OEM tweeter is a Fostex 024H27 ... These seem to have been rather widely used in bass cabs. I found them listed as used in your 410TX cab, as well as in SWR cabs. Usually these seem to be in the neighborhood of $15 USD. I mean...as long as you are rebuilding the crossover...in for a pound... ;-)

    You may well be right too, well, if I can find one of those Fostex 024H27 tweeters going for something like Us$15.00 or the equivalent in Au$ then yeah, I will seriously consider buying one, cheers for that mate, I'll see if there are any on eBay, to be honest, I really didn't know what make/model number the original tweeter was so I ended up buying the Piezo tweeter from my local Jaycar Electronics store as a last resort, I didn't even know if the original tweeters were still available.
