  1. ok - thanks. will pop it out and look some more. thanks, JKent - 'dust cap' is what I was looking for. I'll keep reading the AR-3 book/thing too
  2. the speaker with the woofer on the LHS has the replaced woofer - it's working fine. the speaker above, with woofer on the RHS, is the one that sounds like it's dragging. It sure looks like a cloth surround to me. I guess I could try rebuilding, but I'd be just as happy to simply replace it with a new one/ ok - new to me. aren't all the replacement surrounds foam? I guess I could try - since it isn't working now, all I'd be out is the cost of the surround. and yes - the 'new woofer' has the dome over voice coil. my original that is dragging does not have the voice coil dome.
  3. ok - I know you can add new surrounds. although I'm not sure I trust them to not change the character. I have some professionally reconed JBL E-120s - which are great nos, but these reconed ones are audibly different. I'll get you pictures. The woofer that's giving me grief now has a perfectly good surround - but the voice coil is dragging. If there's a fix for that, it's well beyond me. and thanks. appreciate your help - all of you
  4. thank you, Aadams. I had them connected to my NAD receiver - so when one channel died, after buzzing sounds, I assumed speaker. Eventually, swapping everything, I found that my NAD somehow, for some reason, lost the right channel. I swapped in a Jolida, and viola - it's working. More or less - the buzz is still there. Sounds like the voice coil on the woofer is dragging. No, I found these at a church sale; they had not been opened up before - I had a heck of a time getting the woofer unsealed to look inside. But anyway, I need a replacement woofer now. What's the best source, this side of ebay? Or - I can start a new thread. Either way, thanks
  5. New Member - ok - new to this board. I'm old enough that I auditioned these when they were new. Anyway, I just replaced the bad woofer in one of my AR 2ax speakers, so hooked up the pair for some listening. Sadly, there was some buzzy gritty sound from the other speaker - it sounded like a bad connection, or, possibly a bad surround, since it was mainly on low frequencies. As I took off the front cover to check the surround, the speaker started cutting in and out. After a bit of that, it just quit working altogether. The woofer looks fine. I pulled the woofer looking for a bad connection or broken wire, but don't see anything. Any hints where I should start looking? Just looking at the wiring, which is pretty simple, I can't see what would make the entire speaker stop functioning. thanks. btw - these are very nice speakers. I had them hooked up to my old 2270. Which also needs the posts cleaned. 😊
