rjr513 Posted May 11, 2012 Report Share Posted May 11, 2012 Finished another Ar2ax restore by replacing the old wax block capacitor with a (3.9uf Carli mylar Cap) for tweeter then for the midrange a (6uf Clarity-Cap PX polyprolyene) then i wanted to experiment with tweeters,the orignal 3/4" units still had some fairly good output but I wanted to see if there was any difference using a pair of AR303a tweeters I had just sitting around so I started the fabrication process for the adaptor plates then I installed on back of the each AR303a tweeter in parallel a .15mh coil ( http://www.parts-exp...tnumber=255-206) since original tweeter was already out phase with woofer I did not make any change of phase with AR303a tweeter.I removed the pot's cleaned reinstalled. I checked the old capacitors when i removed them with a Sencore LC103 Capacitance Analyzer and attached some photos and the adaptor plates.Going to sit down now and do some comparison with some jazz tunes.

jarussel Posted May 12, 2012 Report Share Posted May 12, 2012 Wish I knew how to operate this kind of gear to measure performance. i bought and one of these ohm/voltage meters and I can't seem to get to work. I just did a 2AX rehab, refoam, new caps and volume controls from Vintage AR and also just bought new tweeters -- again from Vintage AR. They sound absolutely amazing. I'm rehabbing some 3As and 5s, and am frankly wondering if they'll sound as good as these. I run them with my Dynaco A-25s (recapped and new tweeters) for a great sound.
