Hey Peter, I hope all is well with you and your family! I’m assuming you have fixed these since the last post? If not, Aileen’s will work fine. Stay cool! Cheers, Glenn

Gorgeous!

Wow! Amazingly quiet here.

So, what was the final outcome with these? Sounding fabulous now I would assume!

Hi all! We’re getting set for this Springs meet! It’s a beautiful location, plenty of room for demo setups, and to sell your goodies. Entry is 20.00 to cover the rental cost. Hope to see some of you there! 435 Welcher Ave, Peekskill, NY 10566 Cheers, Glenn -
Excellent! Enjoy the tunes!

Finally working on the AR-3. Pics and usual dumb questions.

NICE! Glad you got them singing again! The 3 is magical. I’ve been listening to mine with tube power and sooooo sweet sounding. -
I hear ya, and you did a great service for all of us who purchased them from you.

Another possible pot source. https://www.tedss.com/2022004125 These are the ones I’ve used, and others here as well with good results. Can’t find them now on fleabay. Use to be listed regularly. https://www.alibaba.com/product-detail/potentiometer-RA40Y-25w_60775567103.html

Yes, I bought fabric for a set of 3As I recently restored, and it’s a very nice option if you want the linen look.

What a gorgeous set of 3s! Those will clean up nicely! For the pots, contact baco99 (Brian) on Audiokarma. He also sells them. I’ve also used the Mellotone and it a virtual perfect match to the original. Cheers!

They look great! I’m assuming by now they are back together and you’re enjoying the music! -
What is the recommended stock to use to fabricate new grill frames?
GD70 replied to Vern48's topic in Acoustic Research
1/4 inch thick MDF. It’s rigid, doesn’t warp. I used this for new frames on a set of my 3s. -
Nice work! Unusual to have original owners of the 3 these days.

I had to make new grill frames for one of my set of 3s and used 1/4 MDF. My other set of 3s have 3a frames and used one for measurements. With the Melotone Saran material on the frame. It’s fits nice and snug. No Velcro needed.
