  4. Restoring the AR-3a

    I used all of the original fiberglass insulation, and added a little more just to account for volume of old capacitor box I removed. U have to wear long sleeves and gloves and a mask when dealing with the insulation or yes it does stab you all over and cause itching. I was working with it in direct sunlight and u could see the fibers flying all around. The fiberglass insulation gives the best sound, so its worth it. 

    Another thing that comes to mind is I think that nasty fiberglass is the culprit that damages the potentiometers and probably can make its way into the spiderweb around the back of the woofer .
     Nonetheless I have always stuck with the original insulation as well. I’ve restored many but I’m not as good as you by a long shot, you do beautiful work!

    Hi Pete I’m getting pretty excited

    I am not far from Rumson I perform in Asbury Park and used to play with your most famous residents.

    I understand the speakers are in rough condition I hope the price can be commensurate so I have an opportunity to restore these jewels  to their former glory or at least something close to that

    I have a deep love for this model and make it one of my life’s work to bring them back and cherish them for the future

    Hi thanks so much for getting back to me I am pretty interested.
    no doubt the speakers will need some work but I hece fix them up in the past

    I have a deep love for this model and enjoy bringing them back to life for a future generations to enjoy as well
    We are 500 miles apart but I do have a thought. I would be willing to trust you to forward the funds if you would be OK dropping them off at a mailbox place that does packing and shipping which I would pay them to do independently once you brought the speakers there. My name is Dan by the way, nice to meet you

    my phone number 609-947-5274 if you’d like to reach out
