Dchristie Posted October 18, 2017 Report Share Posted October 18, 2017 Hi Guys, this may have been answered somewhere already and if so, I apologize for bringing it up again. I am restoring a pair of AR 2ax speakers and of course the potentiometers are corroded beyond use ( even after cleaning) so I am going to purchase new ones. I know that new 16 ohm potentiometers are out there but not plentiful and rather expensive so I am thinking of following Roy's suggestion to just use 8 ohm level controls shunted with a 25 ohm resistor. However , just noticed Larry at the Vintage AR store ( eBay) also lists pots that are listed as direct replacements for the originals and also listed as better than the originals. These look like a good alternative to the 8 ohm level/resistor shunt control but I am just looking to see if any one has any experience with Larry's level controls? All the parts that I have purchased from the AR store have always been good quality so these may be a real option and the price is certainly reasonable all things considered. Just have not seen them mentioned in any of the Forum discussions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
