  3. Are the speakers AR 3 or AR 3a. On this site is a really good download of how to restore the AR 3a but it also can help you on the AR 3. On the opening page on the left you will see a heading " Restoring the AR3a". Please post pictures of the speakers. Rick
  4. Great job! Did you use or will you use Roy's goop on the woofers surrounds?
  5. louisville.craigslist.com for $40-he doesn't think they can be restored. Maybe someone should contact him and explain what he has?
  6. Also yours might cleanup with Oxi and detergent-try that first-remember not to soak the grill material backing too much-check again the AR 3a restoration guide.
  7. The recommended linen may not be available but there are others-www.123stitch.com-search for 18 count linen-off white. Some are pricey some are more reasonable.
  8. They also could be corroded-very normal on these. Are these new to you and have you downloaded the AR3a restoration guide. It should explain a lot of what is going on with the speakers.
  9. Thank You, how much again?
  10. Well I noticed on testing some L-Pads that they exhibit something I thought was a little strange. When testing the resistance-all ranges etc. at either end of the rotation the readout went to infinity(open). I checked this on several L-Pads and used several different meters, on a pot that doesn't happen (original AR speaker pots). I opened several L-Pads(Dayton Audio-15W 3/8 Shaft 8 Ohm) and saw what was happening. At the stop at either end was a hold down clip. If the physical stop piece(plastic) was wider that would prevent this condition. Any thoughts on this issue?
