You can experience the amazing sound of the original AR. Both sides must match each other to get a truly good sound. You can install and use it immediately after receiving it. No separate repair or work is required. The dried and come unstuck parts were re-glued using the exclusive 3035 glue. Very accurate and good AR sound. It will be a choice you will not regret. Also, one more AR 2a / 2 / 2ax (early125,000) Speakers Woofer. Replaced with a new Spider Damper(see photo 1,2,3). Completely repaired and tested. I also conducted a sound test by matching it with the woofer I posted previously. Woofers sound is clear and distinct(you can compare them to other units : only AR). The sound of the two woofers blends well together and you will be satisfied.
