Guest greg928gts Posted February 25, 2007 Report Share Posted February 25, 2007 I would like to know what the value is on a single AR-1W. I have one for sale (see attachment). It works fine, but the cabinet is in rough shape. No grill. I appreciate any input. Greg2060.txt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ar_pro Posted February 25, 2007 Report Share Posted February 25, 2007 I saw a pair sell on ebay for a little over $200. The seller didn't accept Asian bids, and this probably had an effect on the final value.Too bad it's not an AR-1, as its Altec driver commands a very high price.That woofer would be a lot of fun to play with, though.

Guest greg928gts Posted February 25, 2007 Report Share Posted February 25, 2007 I see, so it's the Altec driver that brings more money in the AR-1. Thanks for the information. I'll be selling this on ebay. Greg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy Posted February 25, 2007 Report Share Posted February 25, 2007 The only AR-1w's which might be worth more then $100-$200 would be an early one with the accordian style woofer surround and the early AR label on the back of the cabinet with no 'Trojan' style logo.....should be with a serial number of 4,500 or lower. Also, if you had one of the very first AR-1W's from late 1954 or early 1955 having a serial number below 0100, then the historical value goes up, but you never see these early ones...many were parted out, used and abused. Back in the early 1970's, I knew a bass player who used four AR-1W's powered by an old Dynaco tube amplifier as concert speakers in his band 'The Forgotten'....Ah, those were the days !

Guest mr_kai94 Posted June 6, 2007 Report Share Posted June 6, 2007 It is AR1WU. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest nolanpk Posted July 7, 2007 Report Share Posted July 7, 2007 Do you still have the AR1-WU? I have one, and I would like another. I am planning to build an electronic crossover and use them for subwoofers, to complement my Cambridge Model 6's. I have a Marantz Model 32 ( sixty wpc ) to power them. I will drive the 6's with a Marantz 1060 ( 30 wpc ). If that doesn't work, I have a Crown D 150 ( 75 wpc ) that I can use for the subs, and put the 32 on the 6's. Thanks.Pat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dynaco_dan Posted July 7, 2007 Report Share Posted July 7, 2007 Hi there;I have bought a few items off of ebay.In my opinion, assuming the woofer works without any flaws, the cabinet has seen better days, anticipate perhaps $65.00 - $125.00.I did see a few of these same style woofers only, go for about $50.00 each.Your packaging must be exceptionally well done, especially with there being no grille cloth frame.The average seller does not know how to ship a speaker, for one example only, properly.As I well know, that speaker, and/or enclosure, can easily be completely destroyed in transit.
