  1. Hi Roy

    I just joined this group and read your posts.

    It seems you are the expert on rebuilding the mid drivers on AR3s.  I bought a pair of one owner AR3s locally and thinking what to do about restoring them to their original glory.  Based on other AR3 rebuild posts, most likely the mid drivers will not work properly.

    I would like to ask you if I can send them to you for your magic.

    If you can help, please send me the details of disassembly, payment instruction, and shipping instruction.

     

    Thanks,

      Hi Glenn

      I got hooked up with Roy and will be sending the midrange drivers to him for his magic.  I am also buying a set of trim pots he had rebuilt already.

      You are the master in repairing wood veneer.  I saw your photos with amazement.

      As I had mentioned, the original owner had the speaker gille badges placed upside down and had the speakers upside down with tweeter at the bottom all its life.  Thus after positioning the speakers correctly standing with tweeters on top, the AR3s' top veneers are in bad shape with few of the corner joints show small gaps about 1/64" from getting wet some point.

      I also saw similar gaps in your AR3 photos before your repair.  How did you close the gap along the edges?

      I am considering letting a antique furniture repair place replace the bad veneers and refinish the rest of the sides with few patching work needed from missing wood spots on front edges.

      What is your email address?  Mine is kichoi.br549@gmail.com

       

      Thanks,

      Ki
