If anybody remembers these speakers (and I suspect many do!), can they
cast a light on how to diy repair a distortion on the mid range which
dissappears when you gently touch the cone or papery magnet cover in a
certain spot? (detached or out of alignment. Would also like to aquire
at least one new tweeter. Where do we go for these today (Tandy used
to do cheap end, but not good enough!)in the UK.

turn the driver upside down.

Ian means: remount the driver in the cabinet rotated 180 degrees.

Easiest to check if this works first by turning the entire speaker upside
down.

I once had a pair of sandwich speakers that had the same problem. The magnet
can be loosened with a good spanner and then centred so that the cone does
not rub. It's a tricky job as I recall - got to make sure the cone does not
move as you tighten 4 bolts with a good spanner - you will need a 7/16" ring
spanner.

this may help if the drivers are similar to the sandwich.
