AR 3st

[Andy]

Here is a nice pair of not often seen AR-3st. ebay number 110109473841. The library section of this website list production from 1958-62 with a selling price of $35.00 What cought my eye is the cabinet construction, looks to be solid wood, not Nova-ply, or mdf with a vineer. The size and mitered joint construction is very much like the early KLH Model Eight radio & speaker cabinets which were furniture grade walnut. These 3st units are beautiful little loudspeakers.

Andy,

You are right: these stand-alone "super tweeters" were made from solid-stock wood, usually Walnut. AR also made the wood base for the first AR-TA turntables from solid-stock Walnut; later Walnut-veneer plywood was used.

Hi there;

I see that this 5 bid auction has stumbled at $430.00U$ so far.

I guess everyone has taken a reality check and finally saw that it is only a single tweeter system, not a mini AR-1 system.
