    AR3's

    Hi all, I've had these AR3's stored for a number of years now and thought it was time to look at the potentiometers, I've not had much luck cleaning them, The potentiometers are still intermittent? If anything Possibly worse 😕 All the drive units work fine if I get the potentiometer in a sweet spot and wow sound superb, but then goes intermittent again from vibration I think? Question 1 . There looks to be 2 sellers on ebay that sell a correct type of replacement potentiometer, has anyone used these ? Question 2. I had been advised that the capacitors in speakers are possibly fine and don't have the same issues as power supplies capacitors ? Any thoughts on this ? Question 3. Do these look like original speakers units ? from just looking at the photos ? All the screws around the units look un-chewed / untouched, I don't fancy taking the mids and tweeters out to get serial numbers as these look so delicate and I wouldn't want to break anything. Unless I really have to ?? Question 4. I did see a post on here talking about different woods being used in production, any ideas what these are made from ? Question 5. I don't have the time to fully restore these and certainly no space to keep them any longer. Any ideas who would be interested in buying these AR3's ? And what these maybe worth? £ $ £ To the right person? I'm located in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 And as you'll know, my god they weigh some and I wouldn't want them to get damaged so I'm thinking international shipping is a no no. Please see the photos, I can take more if required? Many thanks, Kind regards Paul
