Stuffing for Refurbished AR 2ax Speakers

Hi -- I am a newbie to this group and am refurbishing two pairs of second generation AR 2ax speakers. One pair was manufactured in fall of 1973, the second pair in spring of 1974. The older pair has the stamped steel basket/ALNICO slug magnet woofers, while the newer pair has the stamped steel basket/ceramic-ferrite magnets.

I have removed and saved the old rock wook stuffing. I would like advice on the best stuffing material for these.

Should I re-use the old rock wook or replace it, if so what is the recommended replacement stuffing and best source for it? Are there different recommendations for the two different types of woofers?

Thanks -- Mitch

Thanks very much. That must also explain why the pots are still in good condition.
