Hi, this is my first post to the group...long time A100, ChoppedL, Electro 2, CX3,Yamaha keys as well as Leslies, Fender, Roland and Motion-Sound owner. I live in Salt Lake, the home of Motion-Sound. I'm on the road right now, but I'll check it all out when I get back to Salt Lake. I know a few people who worked there and I'll get some info.
The diaphram is an OEM part, but finding the correct replacement could be rough without MS around, but a few years ago when MS had problems, Speakeasy stepped up:

Call for details @ 717-292-0814, 10a to 6p EST
It's old news but there's a chance they have continued to stock parts and service products.
The MS website that appears open is apparently a ghost site. It lists a physical address on Redwood Road and I don't think they are there.
I last visited their factory 2 or 3 years ago after I bought a KBR3-d from a local owner. They were gracious enough to totally re-port the lower cabinet, update the internal mics locations, install the new horn in the spinner, replace the pre-amp tube on the organ side, fix the OEM input jack that is always broken and reset all the ramp and tremolo speeds to perfection. It cost a pittance!
The place was a flurry of activity. They had lots of keyboard amps on the assembly line and a new line of tube amps for guitars.
Now, couple of years later, I can't contact them. I did read that someone back east ... Speakeaskeys type place was supposedly taking over the inventory and service stuff, but it was unclear and probably a rumor.
As of Feb. 2013 the website at http://www.motionsoundamps.com/products.php said they were back at it and supplied this info:
