Pr ACOUSTIC RESEARCH AR-2 Speakers – AlNiCo woofers, refinished. Working fine and sounding great. This was a pair that only had three sides finished when I got them, because they were installed on bookshelves and the side facing down was unfinished. The rest was a light cherry finish that would be hard to match on the raw, unfinished plywood side, so I decided to apply two coats of Minwax Polyshades Mission Oak oil-based stain and polyurethane finish on all surfaces (except the back, of course). I think they turned out to be attractive in a mid-century modern kind of look. I also had new grill baffles cut by a woodworker friend and I installed new, acoustically transparent, grill cloths on them. I checked the L-pads and they were surprisingly clean/untarnished inside and working fine. Woofers are the early, desirable Alnico magnet version with cloth surrounds. The surrounds were re-sealed with the proper fabric doping (the cloth surrounds can leak air after all these years and the the re-sealing stops it and helps bass performance).
