Up for sale here is this recap kit for a pair of Acoustic Research AR-11 speakers. This will let you completely recap a set of two (2) AR-11 speakers. These are brand new Supertech MPT (metallized polypropylene film) capacitors, which are super-high-quality and will sound nice and clear. There are two 72 uf capacitors, two 50 uf capacitors, two 40 uf capacitors, and two 10 uf capacitors. The old caps are pretty bad by this point, but these new film caps will get your speakers singing again! These are fairly easy to install as long as you know what you’re doing. You will need a decent soldering iron, solder, a Philips screwdriver, wire cutters, and a hot glue gun or rubber cement to aid in mounting the caps. There are two different AR-11 crossover variants–one uses a 72 uf cap and a 50 uf cap in parallel, and one uses a 120 uf cap. Either way, the 72 uf cap and 50 uf cap in this kit will work nicely to replace the original cap(s). Please note that the new capacitors are much larger than the old ones, because they are so much higher-quality. They will still fit just fine, since there’s plenty of room inside the speaker cabinets. If you have any questions, please ask. Looking for more parts? I have power switches. White LED fuse lamps. Blue LED fuse lamps. 6.3v bi-pin bulbs. Wired 8v 60ma bulbs. New main capacitors for the Marantz 1060/2230. Wired Pioneer speaker plug replacements. New 630v yellow film capacitors at 30 different values. A large variety of transistors for vintage stereo repair. New Wima film capacitors for stereo repair. New 250v yellow film crossover capacitors.

Up for sale here is this recap kit for a pair of Acoustic Research AR-3A speakers. This will let you completely recap a set of two (2) AR-3A speakers. These are brand new Supertech MPT (metallized polypropylene film) capacitors, which are super-high-quality and will sound nice and clear. There are two 100 uf capacitors, four 50 uf capacitors, and two 6 uf capacitors. The old caps are pretty bad by this point, but these new film caps will get your speakers singing again! These are fairly easy to install as long as you know what you’re doing. You will need a decent soldering iron, solder, a Philips screwdriver, wire cutters, and a hot glue gun, rubber cement, and probably some zip-ties or clamps to aid in mounting the caps. The original crossover has a 150 uf cap in it, which is replaced by the new 100 uf cap and one 50 uf cap in parallel. This pair is very large, but will sound MUCH better than the originals. Please note that the new capacitors are much larger than the old ones, because they are so much higher-quality. They will still fit just fine, since there’s plenty of room inside the speaker cabinets. If you have any questions, please ask. Looking for more parts? I have power switches. White LED fuse lamps.
