Nice empty boxes. LOL
Let's see the speakers and certainly that Tonearm as I once considered it. How do you judge this arm, what do you think of it?
Ha boxes, as rare as the actual speakers ! just had the woofers refoamed as they'd been in storage for several years so pics forthcoming
As for the rega arm , just basic not amazing on an AR whereas the AT1100 is so so much better , fantastic tonearms beautifully built sound amazing , heavier mass than your sme 3009 so more choices for carts/stylus , this and the AT1010 are my number one reasonably priced tonearm choices
and sorry for wandering a bit off topic in your thread , it was the Thorens pic that did it

had a go, def need some matt black on the masonite ring , good bad or wrong ...
-
even the boxes are good
these will hopefully sound nice with my AR tt will post some pics when all set up . the tt no longer has that rega arm btw its has an AT1100 on it

Most of use cloths pins with the spring to hold the outer flap in place.

I wouldn't paint the masonite mounting surface.
You should shim. It keeps the cone centered and in place after you have lifted it into position
Thanks
So thats masonite not wood
How , with the mesh cage round the speaker do you lift the cone into position

Hi first time for me , so a few questions , thanks
Will the corrosion affect these or will I not know till I try
Have I cleaned the outer surround edge where the new foam will sit enough, which appears to be made of wood and should I paint that bit black before refoam for aesthetics
How do you lift up the cone with the mesh cage round the outside as the cone sits slightly lower the the edge surround
Are the rear gaskets still available to buy
Any recommendations on shimming or not on these , in fact any advise would be gratefully received

The other end should connect to the center solder point at the back end where the red wire comes down from the level control board.
Is there a coil connected at the 100/20 cap solder point?
It does , and yes Coil 6 is connected to their solder point
Nice MGB and MGBGT
got to put some wire wheels on the roadster they dont look right without them
I had an MG Midget when I was 20 , great car , had the Morris Minor engine in it but being so light was very nippy , £60 !
Thanks again, wouldnt have known where to start without your help

DavidR, so that small black cap that the writing says + 50V + NP + is the 20uf cap ? I've been in with a torch and a mirror but cant see 20uf written
And on close examination yes it is connected to the 100uf cap and to the end/red lead of the central connector
So is everything ok ? do I need to do anything
How come they are so different , the blue 20uf cap being so huge in comparison , has this been a repair job at sometime , cant imagine they would make them so differently
Serial number is 7235
I am so so grateful for your help
-
Cant trace the wires on the blue cap to see if they end up in the same places as one of the speakers doesn't have a blue cap
On the silver cap yes they do
-
Aadams , wish there was , I did have good look
DavidR , thats ok , the can middle left in the one without the blue cap looks to be 100uf
the can in the speaker with the blue cap below, which without a mirror and an "endescope" I cant really see , the only thing I can see is the bottom number is different 7547 to 7552 but I cant see the uf
as for the blue cap sorry but cant see the uf either
-
Thanks for reply , sorry by it I mean the large blue capacitor in the front is only present in one of the speakers and missing in the other

Hi all , new member , from the uk , and sorry but asking for help straight away
Picked up pair of AR10pi that had been stored for some time , the previous owner having passed away so no history on these
So main speakers needing a refoam so on taking them out inside the first one I see this
and the other one
so what do I need , why is it missing / completely taken out , not even wires left ? will/ can it work without it ?
can I buy one if it is presumably needed , which surely it must be , thanks in advance for any help and advice

Some lovely tonearms and yes totally agree with you , especially if you like vinyl
I've tried many tonearms but just have a love for how AT arms perform , fwiw its an AT1100 in the pic with their heavier counterweight and S shape (detachable) arm tube and a detachable headshell which at 67 years old I'm finding pretty essential nowadays when it comes to fitting new cartridges !
