AR3a MD Posted August 6, 2018 Report Share Posted August 6, 2018 HI there. I am the original owner of a pair of AR3a's. The pot for the speaker doesn't work.. I had replaced it once when I could purchase the part. What is a fix for this? I saw where you had to do extensive work to make a pot. It's a volume control for the tweeter and mid range. Would appreciate any help. I want to use them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fedeleluigi Posted August 6, 2018 Report Share Posted August 6, 2018 @AR3a MD Welcome to this forum! There is a very good and useful manual about the AR-3a restoration. On page 13 you can find how to restore the original pots or replace them with L-Pads. Personally, I do prefere to restore old pots or use voltage dividers than to use L-Pads especially for midranges. http://www.classicspeakerpages.net/library/acoustic_research/original_models_1954-1974/original_models_schematicss/restoring_the_ar-3a/restoring_the_ar-3a_full_pd.pdf Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
