Pair RESTORED Original OEM GRILLES & LOGOS for AR-2aX Speakers
Since 1990, I have enjoyed collecting and restoring antique radios and vintage audio…. They are also responsible for determining how they will re-attach these AR-2aX brass logos to the grilles and the grilles to their speaker cabinets. For sale is a pair of original (oem) Grilles & brass Logos, removed from one early and one late version, model AR-2aX loudspeaker. Most dimensions are identical except for the top half/cutout of grilles where openings are slightly different. Even with the variations of top cutouts, I believe either grille should cover the baffle of either speaker, whether an early version 2aX s/n. If any AR speaker guru knows otherwise… PLEASE send me a message so I can update this listing with correct information! The relative position of how their tweeters and mids would fit near the edges of the top cutouts of these grilles. Message if any questions. References to the grilles are as they are shown in pics e. Left side, right side. The grille on right with the lighter shade frame had the repair. Overall grill dimensions: 22.25″H x 11 & 15/16″W. Dimensions of BOTH round lower woofer cutouts: 10. Dimensions of top cutout for darker shaded LEFT grille are 8.75″H x 10 & 3/8″W. Dimensions of top cutout for lighter shaded RIGHT grille are 7 & 15/16″H x 11 & 1/16″W. Dimensions of brass Logos/Badges are 1″H x 2 & 1/16″W (possibly 2 & 1/32). The main repair/restoration was mending the 2 fractured thin/narrow sides for the RIGHT grille’s TOP cut-out. This is a very common problem for these grilles since the left & right sides of the TOP cutout are so thin, and cannot withstand much bending or pressure before they’ll break. In this case the narrow sides only had partial breaks. I was able to mend and reinforce frame edges by applying some wood glue between the 2 breaks, and also gluing a thin wood “splint” to the back side of each break. The former break areas are now more stable, and should hold up just fine… Esp if grille is handled gently. As thin/narrow as the areas are, they are still vulnerable and should not be bent with any pressure. I used Aleene’s Tacky Glue for reattaching the frayed grille fabric back to the frame. It’s very common for AR-2aX logos to have their small, rear screws break free and get lost (like these), so logos must be re-attached to the grilles in a different way… Usually with some type of adhesive. Tip: Logos could be attached to grilles in such a way that where speakers will be positioned vertically, like floor-standing speakers… OR logos could be attached/positioned in such a way that speakers will be positioned horizontally, like bookshelf speakers. The logos can be attached/glued in such a way as to cover over the tiny hole in the front right corner of grille where the old screw was installed.
