paxto Posted August 31, 2020 Report Share Posted August 31, 2020 I recently picked up a pair of AR-2a's from an estate sale. They seem to have different versions of the AR 10" woofer, and I can't figure out if one of them is original and the other is not, or if one of them has been reconed. If anyone has time to clarify from the pictures, I would greatly appreciate. The first 4 pics are of one, the next 5 pics are of the other.

lARrybody Posted August 31, 2020 Report Share Posted August 31, 2020 Everything looks right on the first speaker. The second speaker looks right except for the cone and dust cap. Interesting in that my 2a’s have the yellow cloth surround of the second pictured woofer. Was the speaker re-coned and the original surround reused?

lARrybody Posted September 1, 2020 Report Share Posted September 1, 2020 After looking at the second woofer on my home computer screen instead of my phone in the daylight, I am not so sure that surround is cloth. It may be foam that is coated over with something yellow. Here are woofers from two different sets of 2a's that I have. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RoyC Posted September 1, 2020 Report Share Posted September 1, 2020 I agree, Larry...Paxto's 2nd woofer appears to be an early re-cone. The first one is completely original. Roy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
