AR3a Original Owner


AR3a MD

Recommended Posts

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.

@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.
