| Brand: AR |
Original AR3a speakers. Restored and tested.Sound great and look great. See pictures for condition.
Authentic restoration with original vintage sound in mind.
Original tweeters rebuilt by expert who is doing them. Highly regarded work. Output is great. They sounded like new speakers after this was done. The tweeters vintage sound is worth the rebuild. Replaced the pots with 16 ohm 25 watt original spec units. See pictures. I didn't want to keep fooling with the pot cleaning ...and wanted the correct pots for the vintage sound.Recapped with electrolytic caps. This is what was used originally and why it was done. The grills and logos are in good shape. The cabinets are very presentable. See pictures. The dark walnut look is great. There are rounded corners and marks here and there.There is a chipped back bottom corner.See the front round corner picture as well as the others.They present well and I've tried to show the condition in the pictures.
One of the woofers has a small glued area on the surround. I never bothered to refoam them because the foams were good and sounded good. I used them for years and both woofers as they are and they sounded great.
I think you would be hard pressed to find a truer vintage restoration. And they sound and look great.You should be able to hook them up and be good to go for years.Adjust the tweeter levels to high and mid levels to between around mid way or 3/4 on the back and off you go.
