Hi All - Been a while... last stop here was for some AR5's some years back, and probably picked up some other tips on AR2ax's and AR3a's as well over the years. Glad to see this wonderful forum is still chugging along!!!
In any event, I had the opportunity to pick up an original owner set of AR3's locally a few weeks back. Thought they would be a Fall project, but had some other things move around. Before I knew it, speakers were on my bench, grills removed, and you all know the rest. 20 pounds of mortite (?) later, all 6 drivers were carefully removed. I do need to get the original tweeters and mids rebuilt, so checking on my options and timeframes there.
For now, pics to enjoy! Serial numbers are 2 apart. Interior of the cabs immaculate, date stamped 1964.
More to come. Rheostats to be checked out, and crossover caps to be replaced. Any recommendation on modern replacements for the rear controls?
Cheers! Dave
