[Stopped for toilet paper, found a pair of AR3's!]

Wauw, nice work!

[Restoring the AR-3a]

Yep, welcome!

Enjoy your "new" AR-3a's

[Early AR-1W found at Kutztown Radio Show]

What a fun to read topic!

Am I correct to say that the AR-1W is ment to be for mono sound reproduction only?

[AR MGC-1]

Are these worth looking at?

[Restoring the AR-3a]

I would think a local hardware store in your country should carry boiled linseed oil. Have you checked with any in your area?

Yep, we have it here.

They sell a lot of different "versions/types" but I have found a firm that has been producing "original" Boiled Linseed.

So Vintage-AR uses Linseed?

[Restoring the AR-3a]

The finish restore kit form Vintage-AR, does that contain Boiled Linseed?

I bought a set from him but the shipping cost from the US is a little to much to order such a small amount each time.

[Restoring the AR-3a]

Most were finished with boiled linseed oil. The very glossy ones had a lacquer sprayed on.

The former should be re-oiled once and a while. The latter just dusted.

Thanks!

[Restoring the AR-3a]

What where the AR3a cabinets original finished with?

With that I mean the varnish.

[Advent 400 table radio]

What a shame to see the faceplate in such a bad condition

Did those Advent 400's ever made it over to Europe?

[Advent 400 table radio]

Great design!

Can you use it without the speaker and as a (Stereo) Tuner attached to an amp.?

[JBL L46]

Bought a pair of Pioneer HPM 60, deigned by guys from JBL.

They need new serrounds, somewhere next week.

[JBL L46]

Nice!

I'm looking at a pair of vintage JBL's to.

[Restoring the AR-3a]

I can't believe that this topic dates back to 2007 and so few replies ever since then?

Well, here I am, ready to use the "Restoring the AR-3a" document to get my just accuired AR3a's back in shape.

First thing tomorrow I will print on paper and read to so what I need in preparation.
