Hope everybody enjoyed Easter.
Just a new chapter of my Thiel 3.5 Odyssey. For those who did not read the previous thread I burned one tweeter and one midrange of my left cs3.5. Today after one month I finally checked with a new midrange (different model, borrowed) and luckily the speaker works,so the xover is safe!
Now I need to change both or get them repaired. ( I am stubborn, I am not going on to YG, Kharma or B&W...)
On ebay I found this guy selling a working tweeter ( https://www.ebay.com/itm/254177357767?ul_noapp=true) for 110 Euros which I do not know if it's worth it, but still it leaves out the question: how to fix the midrange? Also I noticed that this midrange was already repaired, by comparing this and the other there are clearly some traces of glue surrounding the dome.... ( I cannot enclose pics).
Any advise advise is welcome, options I am thinking are:

Any advise advise is welcome, options I am thinking are:
- Try to repair locally (fast and cheap maybe...), with the risk to damage irremediably both....
- Get with Rob to get his advise and a (possibly) quote. This scares me a bit since my last experience with him...
- Wait for him and Mr. Thiel to issue the cs3.5 R with a new tweeter, midrange and X/O (gesstimate on timing and cost?).
