[Restoring the AR-3a]

Roy - Can you elaborate on that "25 ohm parallel resistor" please?  I've read that it corrects a crossover problem with the MID speaker (assuming you're talking about connecting the resistor to 2 of the lugs on the pot), but I haven't read anything about exactly how the frequencies are affected without that resistor.  I'm planning on installing that resistor, but since it's such a hassle to open up a 2Ax, it would help to know that installing the resistor makes a significant difference in the sound.  Thanks, Thorne

Very close to the seller.

Easy - EQ the speakers you have with a subwoofer.

I live very near you. Can you PM me pictures and asking price please?  Thorne

UPDATE: Never mind. I was told you are not the seller.

And thank you to everyone from me too as I've been reading this thread and learning while I repair/replace my 2Ax controls.

That curly spring-like thing in the white half of the pot against which the wiper moves, if the spring is bent at any point, is that bad and requires a replacement?
