briodo Posted September 17, 2016 Report Share Posted September 17, 2016 Just curious if this is an original AR-1W driver. I thought they used the standard 12" woofer with flat sides?

briodo Posted September 17, 2016 Author Report Share Posted September 17, 2016 Just saw the thread and picks on AR-1 by DKinYORKpa. Something is not right with this Craigslist speaker... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frankmarsi Posted September 17, 2016 Report Share Posted September 17, 2016 Knowing history can be the key to the present and even the future. Research the library on this site and you will have no questions because you will be enlightened. http://www.classicspeakerpages.net/IP.Board/index.php?/topic/8190-the-first-ar/ http://www.classicspeakerpages.net/IP.Board/index.php?/topic/7285-ar-1-curbside/ http://www.classicspeakerpages.net/IP.Board/index.php?/topic/1147-evolution-of-and-replacements-for-the-ar-1112-woofer/ The above took me all of five minutes of my present. It should also be noted that since 1985 our schools have lessened the teaching of history and music, a sad state of affairs for the future generations indeed. Once the great knowledge of the past is totally erased by those that choose to do so, we'll all be doomed. It's true we do rest on the shoulders of giants. Even that expression goes unappreciated. What's that old expression and I'm paraphrasing; "Knowing history is key, or we are doomed to relive it" ................ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Removing the board will reveal the woofer frame as illustrated in these two pictures of serial # 1667 taken from the internet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
briodo Posted September 17, 2016 Author Report Share Posted September 17, 2016 LOL, I consider myself enlightened and entertained at the same time. Will promise to do better with my research and eat my vegetables! I did not know that design had a board mounted at the front... Thank you both for taking time to respond so graciously.

frankmarsi Posted September 17, 2016 Report Share Posted September 17, 2016 Most of all a good sense of humor is important and it seems as though you have one. Otherwise, site strongmen would come out to you and administer AR site punishment methods. https://www.youtube.com/watch? v=u4ZgVRJ-H8U Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
