stuckinthe70s Posted December 11, 2012 Report Share Posted December 11, 2012 I am in the process of preparing for a long distance move and today I was getting ready to start packing up the sound system when I noticed this. Surprisingly, the tweeter is still working at least to some degree. Question, is there any way to fix this or is it doomed to the "dead drivers" shelf? I haven't touched it as I don't want to cause any further damage. Luckily , I have a couple of working spares so I can swap it, but that won't be happening for a few months when I get settled in to my new living space.BTW, the speakers are AR3's, which brings up another question- this appears to have copper windings, weren't the original 3's aluminum wound? Or was that just on the mids? I did replace both tweeters a couple 2 or 3 years ago, now I wonder if they are correct or is this a 3a tweeter?Ron Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RoyC Posted December 12, 2012 Report Share Posted December 12, 2012 Ron,That tweeter cannot be easily repaired. Fortunately the same tweeter was used in the AR-2a and early 2ax, so there are many still available. I have never seen one without aluminum voice coil leads, but I wouldn't be surprised if AR had made a change along the way.Roy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stuckinthe70s Posted December 12, 2012 Author Report Share Posted December 12, 2012 Thanks Roy, I kind of figured that was the answer I'd get but wanted to make sure. I'm just glad I have a couple of spares. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
