Are there any parts available for the B & W 801 series 2?

I friend of mine passed away and his wife asked me to sell his audio system. He has a pair of the 801 series 2.  All the drivers are good but one of the crossovers is fried. Does anyone work on these?? I don’t think any parts are Available. 
Looking forward Advice 

Thanks

They must be ordinary parts used for all crossovers, and therefore they can be rebuilt by a competent tech.

I'm not sure how you fry a crossover? I've never done that. Are you sure the crossovers are faulty?

That’s what his wife told me. I didn’t listen to them. Visually, the drivers are all intact

"... That’s what his wife told me...."

I would verify that the drivers work. I have my doubts.

I upgraded my 801 S2s with these XOs:  (https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/B-W-801-802-S2-matrix-Speakers-cross-over-full-upgrade-service-Each-/1643...). Very happy with the result.

Be careful: delivery was VERY slow. Inquire before purchase.

Thanks for the advice. I ended up selling them to someone who showed up at the house for $350
