Refurbishing a pair of KLH model six speakers

I just picked up a pair of KLH model six speakers. Hooked them up and the woofers seem fine but both tweeters dead in the water. Found manual on the web but only had four pages. Question is do I want to spend a lot of $ fixing tweeters? ans. no. I understand that the caps go bad and that might be the problem. If so, where do I get the right caps and how do I get to the crossover to replace them? Only reason I'm asking these questions is that these speakers bring back memories.

My KLH 6's have sealed cabinets. The woofer frame is sandwiched between 2 sheets of plywood. They can not be removed as they are an integral part of the cabinet. The tweeter is sandwiched in also. The surounds are fabric. All drivers are good. The cloth fabric front is sealed into the cabinet.

I have one pair that is in mint condition and another that I have cut the cloth from to see how they were made. The only way to get the crossover is cutting the back open.

Has anyone else experienced this early 1959 version. I bought mine at Layfett electronics on Route 9 in Framingham mass.
