Very nice Phico G1824. could use help?
#1

Hi all,

I just picked up a nice high quality 1961 Philco console from Craigslist, and could use a bit of help.
The stereo amp has nice push pull EL84 outputs and a pair of 12AX7s . The reverb unit (first I've seen) is pretty unique and I can't wait to hear how it sounds. The two satellite speakers (tweeters?) are gone; all that's left is the bass channel. 
Anyway, my questions: 
1. Can anyone help me to locate a pair of appropriate tweeters? If not, any suggestions on a make-do?
2. Are there schematics out there for this set? Not too much info to be found. 
My plan is to service the set, put it back in the cabinet and hopefully get some appropriate tweeters. It won't be broken up.

Thanks. This is a very well made, heavy and high quality amp. Knobs are heavy metal, no plastic anywhere. Can't wait to see it through.

Ted
