JKent Posted September 20, 2017 Report Share Posted September 20, 2017 I'm reviving this thread because a year and a half later Kathy is moving. She was able to give some of Joe's prized speakers to family and friends, then contacted me to offer a treasure trove of leftover stuff. My cousin and I hauled it out of her house and it's now in a storage unit awaiting inventory. Once I have a list I'll put it in the For Sale section but I wanted to pique some interest. Two things I'd really like to move are a pair of AR-9s and a pair of AR-91s. I believe they are complete but 1 or 2 drivers need to be reinstalled. If anyone is interested in these they are located in Hardyston NJ (pick-up only. No shipping). Kathy offered to split the proceeds 50/50 with me but I will not do that. All proceeds will go to her. If those big speakers don't sell I'll part them out. Hate to dump the cabinets but the motivation here is to move the stuff and get as much money for our late CSP member's widow as possible. There are also two pair of AR-3a's but I think I have a buyer for those. As I said, I'll inventory the stuff and list it in For Sale. PM me with any questions. -Kent Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

michiganpat Posted September 20, 2017 Report Share Posted September 20, 2017 I'd love both, but too far from me, and my wife would probably either divorce me or kill me for the insurance money (: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete B Posted September 20, 2017 Report Share Posted September 20, 2017 I'm interested in the 9's mainly for the boxes. The ones I have I took because the lady really wanted me to have them. They are in far worse physical shape than I thought. Sell them whole if you can, if not I'm interested in the boxes and XOs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JKent Posted September 25, 2017 Report Share Posted September 25, 2017 The list is now under the For Sale section. Lots of drivers plus the AR-90 and 91 speaker systems. http://www.classicspeakerpages.net/IP.Board/index.php?/topic/9727-ar-speakers-lots-of-speaker-parts/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe Rutledge Posted September 25, 2017 Author Report Share Posted September 25, 2017 Angels do exist. Hoping all of these find new homes, where the WAF is high. I am grateful for the kindness shown by allof you to a stranger, but especially by Kent. Thanks all. Joe's Wife, Kathy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JKent Posted September 26, 2017 Report Share Posted September 26, 2017 Roger, Parts were mailed today. And I just packed up ra.ra's. Roy is picking up some stuff this weekend but I need to move it all. Next stop: ebay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
owlsplace Posted September 26, 2017 Report Share Posted September 26, 2017 I'll take another look at the list but you are probably in a hurry to clear the storage unit and my funds are limited at the moment. I could use a pair of Tonegan 12" woofers but ... Kudos again for taking on this project. Roger Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JKent Posted October 25, 2017 Report Share Posted October 25, 2017 Nearing the end of the sell-off. A few disappointments--there were some dead drivers that I couldn't sell but now I'm down to a few mids. In fact, as I'm typing this the Cello Amati mids just sold on ebay. Woohoo! I'll be sending Kathy another check soon. I parted out the AR-90s but the 91s are so nice I couldn't bear to part those out. The woofers had been refoamed but both tweeters were bad. Fortunately Joe had spares and they did not sell, so I'll use those. Grilles are intact. The foams around the tweeters and mids are missing but I don't see that as a problem. I sold all of Joe's caps but I'm sure I have the right values in my parts box, so no biggie. Unfortunately, one of the plastic woofer trim rings is missing. It's just cosmetic but may be an "issue" for some potential buyers. So.... Anyone have a single 12" trim ring they'd be willing to part with? When these are finished I'll post pictures and offer them to any member willing to pick them up in northern NJ. If I put them on ebay I'll ask $500 but for a direct sale will accept anything over $400. -Kent Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ra.ra Posted October 25, 2017 Report Share Posted October 25, 2017 Again, very kind of you to make this effort on Kathy/Joe's behalf. And good call on the AR-91's - - it'd be a shame to sell them for parts, and that's a very fair price for such an excellent speaker model. If you are unable to procure the missing trim ring but still want to enhance the "nude" appearance, perhaps you could fabricate a couple of foam infill rings per this image which was found on one of Roger's posts for the AR-58s (same drivers as the 91).

DavidR Posted October 26, 2017 Report Share Posted October 26, 2017 I have two cutouts I had used as woofer seals on my 91's. I didn't like them and used the foam tape from Parts Express. If you want the cutouts you can have them - RAOK. You may need to do some trimming. They are made of craft foam that is (I think) 1/16" thick. Let me know and I will mail them to you.

Stimpy Posted October 26, 2017 Report Share Posted October 26, 2017 Nice work David! I need mad-skills like that, as I'd love a pair of those for my newly acquired AR58s speakers. If Kents passes on the trim rings, keep me in mind. But I hope Kent can use them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stimpy Posted October 26, 2017 Report Share Posted October 26, 2017 I just looked on eBay, and no AR91 woofer trim rings currently listed. I know I've seen them for auction, but not very often. So Kent should try David's custom foam rings. Get those 91s sold for the cause. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DavidR Posted October 26, 2017 Report Share Posted October 26, 2017 I didn't feel as thou they sealed well. I may have some extra sheets of material and could cut some w/o screw holes for Kent and you can have the ones pictured. I'll take a look. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JKent Posted October 26, 2017 Report Share Posted October 26, 2017 Thanks David. RoyC contacted me and he may have a trim ring to spare! I'll let you know. Stimpy may be in luck. -Kent Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DavidR Posted October 26, 2017 Report Share Posted October 26, 2017 OK I have two extra sheets that I never used so I can cut 2 more. The measurements are: 12 and three eights inches OD X 10" ID. I used the trim ring and traced the pattern. So if you both need some that can happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
