Amazing speakers back in the day. I will help as much as possible if you need more info about them. Im no expert but here are the flaws as I see them. 1 The screen cloth needs to be replaced. 2 Theres no structural damage or deep scratches on the tops or sides but the wood could use a fresh oiling with Danish oil or whatever you prefer. If you use fine steel wool it both scraps off any old stuff on the surface and applies the finish. I used some Goo-Gone and the ring and other discoloration spots on the top of both speakers went away. In other words I think the cabinets can be restored to great condition with little effort. 3 The actual speakers are still mounted however as you an see the mount rings (not sure thats he correct term) are disintegrated. In other words I have not connected or tried to test the speakers. The item “Acoustic Research AR3a Vintage Speakers NEED TLC AR-3a” is in sale since Sunday, March 28, 2021.
