[Guest violin]

I would like to buy a Brass number 3 emplem for one of my AR 3 speakers. If any body has a spare one, please let me know

Thanks very much.

Hi there;

Just to give you an idea.

I have been scrounging in various places for an item which is very elusive to me.

I did come across something that may be of interest to all AR-3 owners, not just yourself.

In a local dollar store I found a package of numbers from 0 - 9, $, #, ., , and they are 2 sets of these per $1.00 package from China.

They are 1 5/8" high x 5/8" wide and are gold finished plastic but may just do for a feeling of identity, they certainly look acceptable and may just do until you find an original.

A dab of glue or velcro may just be the cats meow, or not.

A straight pin can also be glued to the back similar to the pin and 3 on orginal AR-3's.

Just a thought for Wednesday.

Hi,

I do have an extra pair of AR emblems off the 303's. They say AR though, not '3'. They measure 5/8th x 5/8th and have an 1/8th" wide post centered in back that protrudes out 3/8th". Not sure if that helps at all.

Thanks Kane for your message. I have the square AR emblems. What I need is the number 3 and I only need one.

Thanks anyway.

Hi,

Just came across your thread. Are you still looking for an Ar #3?

I have a pair if you are interested with the original AR emblem.

Regards,

Joe

I have seen the same thing. House numbers and the like in hardware stores. Sometines in brass. Save some money. It's all about the music. Isn't it?

Hi again;

After seeing a pair of AR logos with a pair of AR-3's number badges go for $66.00 on ebay, I foresee counterfeiting happening here.

There are logos that look like AR's, newly manufactured, and even duplicate speaker criss-cross speaker stands.

What I found most distasteful was the Acoustic Research name was used as the drawing card in the ebay listing heading for the stands.

The word(s), copy of or duplication, was not included, if included in that heading, would have lessened the blow.

I really do not care what is or is not in the write-up, the heading is what draws buyers.

As collector/owners of, AR classic speakers, we must use due diligence in buying original and not counterfeit items.
