[Been gone for a while]

Greetings from another recent retiree. Looking forward to working on some hi-fi projects this winter.

Heh Heh. Didn't know you could get such a small typewriter in the late 60's.

I couldn't sleep last night so I streamed a documentary on Amazon Prime about the song American Pie. It was pretty well done.

[Assembly Jig found inside a AR-4X]

Great stories, baffled Loudspeaker. I thought only white van speakers had bricks in them!

I wonder if the assembler on our AR-4x's went to sleep that night, wondering where that lost jig ended up that day.

On second thought, I think it probably aligned the crossover back board/assembly to the cabinet. I don't recall exactly how it was orientated in there when we found it. Looks like it might have fit better in the other lower corner as pictured.  I would imagine they pre assembled the crossover before it was installed in the cabinet. It's probably all chewed up from a wayward stapler shots.

My son and I are working on a pair of AR-4X's.  We found this L-shaped piece of masonite(?) with a wood block glued to it inside under the insulation. It fits just around the between the cap and the edges of the cabinet. I figure it must have been a jig for installing the cap and forgotten about upon assembly. I hope it didn't buzz when the speaker was playing!
