    For sale is a pair of 3/4" Dome TWEETERS removed from a set of Sansui SP-X2U speakers.  Tested and work great !  Part # SSST02.  Both the 2-way SP-X2U and 3-way SP-X3U speakers were 8 ohm "nominal impedance" systems and made in the USA.  The X2U was power rated at 200 watts MAX (which usually translates to 100 watts RMS) and the X3U was rated to 250 watts MAX (or 125 watts RMS).  The static DCR of voice coils measures around 6.1 and 6.4 ohms, as expected.  Tweeters are in excellent cosmetic shape... faceplates measure 3 & 1/8"H x 4 & 1/4"W.  Includes installation screws.
    These SSST02 tweeters appear to be identical to the type used in the SP-X3U, and possibly other Sansui speaker models.  As stated before, the buyer will need to do their own research, and judge/decide if these would work for their speakers or DIY speaker project.
    NOTE: One tweeter's faceplate has a very small partial fracture on the BACK side around 2 screw-holes/corners.  The corners are intact but will be very fragile/vulnerable.  If I were going to keep/install these.. I would 1st apply a small amount of super glue over the back side of the 2 corners, esp over the visible lines/cracks.  Keep in mind these are both small and just starting.  Then I would gently tighten screws down JUST enough to be snug, and hold tweeter in place. Not all the way down and tight!
    This is a very common problem for 2 reasons.. the corners around screw-holes only have a thin outer rim, and.. many speaker makers used automated methods during the manufacturing process and often the screws were over-driven and too tight.  Cerwin-Vega tweeters are the worse.  So no matter what you do, when you remove a tweeter like these, once you turn the screw and the tension is released, the partial fractures can split and pieces of the corner breaks free.  To help avoid this, I always air heat the corners before removing screws to warm up plastic so it's a tad more pliable... sometimes this helps and sometimes it doesn't.  You can only do the best you can and hope for best.
