Are there any reputable repair places in the UK?
None who will have any idea about AR's specifically

Hi I'm in the UK (Dorset) I can refoam your woofers for free if needed , obv you will need refoam kit, cheapest for us are from a company in Holland, are the mids and tweeters working ? are the adjustable pots on the back movable or corroded stuck , new grille covers are easy enough to do
message me if needed Gary

And yes, woofers and tweeters are original. Not so the grills, which are terribly ugly...They are original , they were an option as against linen , these above came from a pair of 2AX's I picked up here in UK
I changed them
-
refoamed recapped new grilles
the bad news , collect Dorset UK , so doubt if any takers here ...

ok so I swapped the Euro 2AX's woofers, the ones in the lower photo above, into the US cabinets and then tried the top ones in the Euro cabinets, and either way the lower larger magnet ones sound better than the other woofers , more bass more presence far better ?
fwiw I refoamed both pairs
-
so in the US 2AX's the woofers are these
and in the Euro 2AX's the woofers are these , is there any difference is one better than the other ?
-
so picked up what I though were early 2ax's , primarily because I prefer US cabinets, but to me the tweeters are the same as late 2ax's so are they US late 2ax's ?
more refoaming , I know
and they came with these lovely (not) orangey brown grille covers

Agree with Giorgio. You will wait a long time to find a better unmolested pair. At 130 BP = 175 US the price is very reasonable.
Just not the love for AR's here in the UK ...
Ive just picked up yet another pair , early 2AX's for not much more money , bit of a way to go to catch up with Giorgio though
pics soon

so you can use banana plugs I use these (not my pic)

It looks like the yellow wires were moved to take the pots out of the circuit. Some do this because the pots are not working and they do not want to clean or replace the pots. Does it look like the center terminals were previously soldered?
Check out the second post in this thread to see a schematic. Yours have two separate caps instead of the two-in-one-enclosure shown in the schematic
Yes been looking at those carefully , understand about my caps not being enclosed but confused as those schematics are not same, showing different colour wires going to mid and high ? and yes it look like the center terminals were previously soldered, if so will that leave the pots on max/high ? I'll take some better pics if I can

How are your AR2a? Mine are the adored together with the AR3a!
Well to be honest in the same state as when I got them , none of the mids are working and AR parts are non existent here in the UK , new pots from the US are going to cost as much as I paid for the speakers , and as for re veneering ......reckon I may just break them down for parts
The 2ax's are coming on fine , I am going to refoam and not repair but cant even get the surrounds here , coming from Holland
Do these look like theyre wired correctly , no wires coming from central B connectors ?
-
more 2ax's into the house , sadly on carrying them downstairs he managed to catch them on something puncturing a hole in the grill and the woofer surround , luckily not the cone, more work for me , still were free so cant complain
-
thank you , as always so helpful
-
says replacement is from another AR ?
no sure which one his pic of the rear is of
