Up for sale, a very nice SINGLE vintage AR3a speaker cabinet. The drivers that were removed were dated from 1967. This cabinet is in very nice condition. There are only a few small cosmetic blemishes, which can ve seen in the pictures. The drivers were removed, but the insulation and crossovers are still intact and untouched. The crossover pots are typical, but do work. The other components are also listed for sale separately. Please check my other listings for the match to this cabinet if you are in need of two. View my other listings for an array of interesting items at great prices. Please ask for additional pictures or videos if needed.

Great sounding ARs 2ax… Speakers themselves are very good. Cabinets and grills are average to good with a little work, Great. Very close serial numbers.

This is for a Repair Service of your tweeter. Send it to us and we will repair it; replacing both the internal and external suspensions, repairing a break in the voice coil if necessary and installing new copper wires for ease of installing.

This pair in my opinion, looks good, (I WEAR STRONG GLASSES) sounds good. (I WEAR HEARING AIDS) i believe it is an early model as it has the orange dome tweeters, and the cloth surround woofers. THESE ARE OVER 50 YEARS OLD AND I WELCOME YOU TO VISIT AND SEE AND HEAR FOR YOURSELF HOW THEY LOOK AND HOW THEY SOUND. I DO IT AS A HOBBY. Then you can see how they look and how they sound. Ps if you do choose to pick them up you must be able to lift both of them and take them up some steps from my basement. They weigh maybe 45 -50# each. They will be insured for the price paid. Ps let me know if you want to see more photos.

They sound amazing, powerful and clear. Cabinets are 7/10 with some dings and a few scratches. Grills are all original, with good brass badges.
