broken wire ar3a midrange front wires

I broke a wire on my AR3A midrange the other day. I remember reading on the AR3A restoration guide that you could use a "silver plated 24-26 guage crimp connector" but I am having no luck finding them? Anyone know where I can find one? Also what size is the wire the connects the midrange to the terminal board?  Thanks ARKEN

I have a pair of AR5 front wired midranges with one broken lead wire. It appears to have broken just below the screen. I am currently using rear wired versions, but I have two identical sets of AR5,s except for the rear wired midranges. Can somebody recommend where I can get the wire repaired. The leads are way too small for me to attempt.

You can send it to vintage AR .He pretty much does anything AR. Does good work . You can get ahold of him through Ebay.  Look up vintage-ar. Good luck!

I think its Roy C who actually does the work but I'm not positive about that.

I do most of his repairs. Forum members can contact me directly through the forum.

The 3a mid and tweeter have copper tinsel leads. When necessary, I usually extend them with 24ga or 26ga stranded, tinned wire, using ordinary electrical solder. AR-3 mids and tweeters have aluminum leads requiring special solder, and are more difficult to deal with.
