Guest filedog Posted September 13, 2007 Report Share Posted September 13, 2007 I found a pair of ARs, labeled "AR-2a" (at least I'm PRETTY sure they were) at the audio repair shop. They LOOK just like early 2axs though, cloth-surround woofers, ONE mid, with the fiberglass "patty" on them and the old-style tweets. Plywood baffle with the black paint not applied around the bottom of the woofer. The cabs look VERY nice, woofers need dust caps, 1 tweet has been removed but present, one mid is MIA. NO grills or badges. With that layout, they CAN'T be 2as, right? They look JUST like this: http://oak.cats.ohiou.edu/~postr/bapix/AR_open1.jpg I originally thought of buying these to restore, (he wants $50), but as some of you may recall, I have a pair of late-model 2axs I just recapped. They are vinyl, somewhat rough (I repaired them as best as I could), but work nicely, and have VERY nice grills. NOW I wonder if I should just put my drivers and grills in the nice cabs. Kind of an expensive way to go, I paid $30 for the 2axs, maybe $15 for the caps, $20 for replacement badges......BUT, I could sell the drivers from the old pair. I don't think my new tweets would fit in these cabs however. Thinking about it, the woofers have a different bolt pattern, so I really shouldn't replace those either.OR, I could get another mid, make frames and cover them, buy ANOTHER set of badges, and sell my vinyl pair. What would you guys do? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
