Woofers
Carlsson B65-oa (SC165) Hifikit stocks all three impedance versions of the 6.5” Peerless woofer used in OA-12, OA-14, OA-116, OA-2212 and OA-50.
They also stock both of the 7” Scan-Speak woofers, 18W/8542 used in the early models of OA-51 and OA-52 and 18W/8545 used in the “:2” and “.3” models of OA-51 and OA-52.

Minic (Speaker parts and speaker kits)
Minic is a small company in Sweden dealing in speaker components. They usually stock most woofers, tweeters and components for restoring Carlsson speakers. They still also have a small stock of the Peerless MT20HFC. (We are unsure of Minic orders capability)

They might be a bit difficult to reach, best is to try before noon, local time (GMT +1).
Miscellaneous
Standard components such as SCR/MKP polypropylene capacitors, vacuum tubes, cable for internal wiring and XLR /Canon plugs and sockets are available at your standard dealer for electrononic components. Try companies such as RS Components or similar.
If you are interested in Scan-Speak or Peerless speakers

Faulty Sonab equipment:
In Sweden we recommend: Östermalms Radio och TV-service
Phone: +46 - 8 667 40 60
They are one of very few companies who are able to repair the strange “bass–energizers” used in the OA-6 Typ 2 (Mk II) speakers.
We are unfortunately not familiar with any companies abroad who are able to repair these.
Rubber parts
Rubber parts are best purchased at your local industrial dealer.
