    Description

    Offered for your consideration is one (1) vintage
    Foster
    part #49-1168
    horn tweeter
    made in Japan for
    in 1974. This venerable tweeter design was also used by Cerwin-Vega and several other U.S. and overseas speaker manufacturers throughout the 1970’s. So, please have a look at my large photos and read the remaining description to decide if this capable high frequency driver is correct for your speaker.
    This Foster tweeter is in clean, excellent condition. It has a shiny black plastic housing and magnet cover with no cracks or scratches that I see. Also, the radiating surface and diaphragm have been well-protected resting deep in the horn throat, so they are also perfect. And, the
    Zenith
    bullet-style +/- terminals are marked for polarity and have never been soldered on the spades. I’ll include a short section of lead wire with female bullet ends, as pictured, for anyone considering this capable driver for a non-Allegro application
    Most importantly, it has been fully tested and sounds very clear with excellent detail and none of the harshness usually encountered with metal horns. Plus, it’s nominally rated at 8 ohms and the DC resistance tested at 7.6Ω. Lastly, the flange measures just over 3⅜” square, it stands about 2⅛” tall, and the mount holes are spaced 2½” adjacent / 3⅝” diagonal apart, c-t-c.
    As pictured and described, this outstanding Foster horn tweeter made for
    Zenith
    is offered at a competitive price.
