neat! That is a real EV cone tweeter

I am pretty sure. Similar (perhaps identical) to that in the later EV Four, by the looks of it.

I am not at all sure why you're getting muddled imaging at some frequencies.
I would replace those decrepit NP electrolytics, though -- even with modern ones. It won't hurt. It may help -- a lot. Or get inexpensive but decent non-electrolytics (e.g., the "Dayton" branded capacitors sold by PartsExpress).

all the best,
