no, I had one as a sample which I returned to its owner and the ones in the cabinets had been replaced by soundlabs which had also failed

That's the right details. There's also a Facebook group that can be very helpful called 'Ohm UK - User'.

They used to have quite a stock of various drivers and HF units hidden away in cupboards as I think that they used to test every new item that came on to the market----Back in those days, they used a lot of Fostex bullets and HF drivers which were all pretty good and sounded sweet.

Hi, how would I get in contact with Jo at OHM?

Do you have the old Fostex bullet tweeters still?

If i recall correctly Marcel Put of MPaudio/focal used them in his early focal systems. Might be an idea to try over here: https://www.facebook.com/share/8aDQW3gxxJFKTy5m/?mibextid=K35XfP

He was quit succesfull mid eighties till mid nineties in Belgium so these pop up frequently over there.

Could this be the Ohm Br 30s cabinet? Full with Fostex drivers?
I have a pair and they sound absolutely wonderful.

I saw some at OHM a couple of years ago. Maybe they still have some. It looks like the new company have kept the same address. 

There's diaphragms in Switzerland

Fostex was ACR as well. Possible searching for ACR will get a better result.

Ok, difficult to tell from the photos.

I'm not sure what would fit then, but whatever will most probably need some metalwork being done. It's never easy.  Cry

I would be more inclined to place a small horn and 1” driver on a new support nearer to the centre of the 15” driver ( for clearance). This would be a better match for the dispersion of the other components in the cab, better for future parts availability and easy enough to accomplish.
