Charles218 Posted December 18, 2009 Report Share Posted December 18, 2009 My 3-A's have the early Alnico magnets with cloth surrounds and I am looking for a single replacement. I would be willing to purchase an entire unit but would prefer to get just the woofer. A wayward spike from my amp just zapped one of my current speakers.Charleslarkins at (pobox.com) at = @Remove the parenthesis Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Charles218 Posted December 22, 2009 Author Report Share Posted December 22, 2009 Are you sure those cant be fixed ?Try vintage AR on E bay Larry is OK danYes, I agree "Larry is OK". He had a single woofer available and I just purchased it, should arrive in time to listen to Christmas music on Christmas day through the 3-A's. I am planning on sending the damaged driver to Larry for repair, his price is quite reasonable and it will be good to have a back-up. The only concern is that Larry is not sure that the cloth surround can survive the repair and it may be necessary to replace it with foam. Is there anyway to replace the cloth? I much prefer the cloth surrounds for their durability.Charles Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
