AR Amplifier

Recommended Posts

Does anyone have a scan/PDF of the AR Amp user manual and the service manual they could share (perhaps via PM)? Thanks!

the service manual is here:

Vintage AR sells reprints of the owner's manual on ebay for $10 with free s/h.

I bought one from Larry but no longer have the amp so I'll sell my copy for $8 if you want it

All set with manuals, but if anyone has a volume knob (or more particularly, the insert for the front knob face, which was lost from mine) FS, please PM me.

There's an eBay seller who caught my attention because he sells repro knob inserts and happens to be nearby (although I've never bought from him). Maybe contact him and see if he can have some inserts made:

The BASS, TREBLE and BALANCE knobs were smaller than the Selector and VOLUME knobs, and the BASS & TREBLE inserts had "RIGHT" printed on them. That may be more difficult to find.

btw--here's a pic of my AR amp and tuner. Ended up selling them to pay for a MAC4100. Don't know which "sounds" better--probably the MAC--but the AR combo was sure cool looking :D

Thanks, Kent - I'll try that seller - he has some H/K inserts which just might fit (no "indicator line" on them, but I could cut one in with a Dremel and fill it in.)
