I have been asked a few times to make a replacement lens for the Crites CT120 setup. Things move slowly here at times but the last person asking really really REALLY wanted a set so off I go. Of course things are in the way of orderly progress and I had a bunch of wood lenses I was cutting and did not want to stop until I was done.
I cut the wood lenses dry and it makes a mess so before I can cut all aluminum anything that requires coolant I have to clean the mess out. So I finish cleaning and answer another “have you started” email again to say “no, not quite yet”.
Then the screw compressor goes out and until that is fixed nothing is cut, except my wallet of course.Yesterday saw the compressor fixed and the resumption of goodies production.
This is meant to be a direct drop in replacement for the CT120 set from Crites used in the CS Style B speaker. Now if you already have the CT120 you can reuse the driver on my lens. They have a Crites label on the driver but it is the same DE-120 I use with a label added. Anyway I don’t know if I will stock these or if they are going to be special order but in any case the CAD and CAM files are done and proofed and these are available. Contact me if interested through this blog.

i’d be interested in a pair of these. thanks!
OK but first I have to tell you these are not just simple drop ins. According to my test guy he had to cut back the wood at each end of the cutout to make them fit. Now once done he likes them better then the CT120 so it was worth doing for him. It seems to me he had to remove perhaps .24″ off each end to make them fit. I will get the info from him again and post on the blog next week regarding what he had to do.
i’m still interested in purchasing a pair. do they come with the de120-8 drivers? thanks!
Yes they do. PM sent
i replied to an automated email i received from your blog with a request to purchase a pair of the crites ct120 drop-ins. is that the pm? if not, i can be reached at —————————-. thanks!
OK contact established and speak to you this weekend. Please do not post personal email addresses in replies so the bots don’t harvest your email. I mean I don’t care if you do but as a security precaution it is probably wise not to. I get your email address with your post data when you comment and can always reach out through that.
I would like to buy a pair. How do I do so?
Store and I were on vacation for a week but I am back and check your email for a message.
Hello. I’m the guy trying to purchase the cherry lenses with drivers on ebay. That way doesn’t seem to be working out. Any ideas?
Check PM
Hi Dave,
I haven’t had time to read everything on your blog but I’m enjoying it so far!
I have CNC machined my own Klipschorn and have been looking to replace the K-77 m. I would like to buy the drop replacement type + DE120 driver which requires me to cut the opening larger but I’m okay with that. Perhaps I can send you a couple of photos of how it’s currently mounted just to check it’s the correct choice.
Best regards,
Jonny
It is very rewarding to be able to make things and have the tools to do so. Check your PM. I don’t post as much as I used to when this was a Solid Edge only blog and all the CAD and CAM topics are now out of date since I let maintenance drop in 2019. However the speaker topics are timeless and never go out of date. Still use Solid Edge and HSMWorks with permanent licenses and will do so for years to come.
I’d love a set of these. Are they still available?
Look for a PM headed your way.
To anyone interested in these I normally have them in stock. Check with me and the only reason I am out normally is B&C runs us all out of stock periodically for some unknown reason.
