These have the cloth surround on the woofers, which would indicate that it was a manufacture date of 1969 or earlier. These have had the woofer surround resealed, the crossovers rebuilt, and the tweeters replaced with the suggested HIVI replacement tweeters. The cabinets have dings and scrapes as the pictures will show as well as one corner crush as highlighted in one of the pics. The corner damage is in the upper right rear of one of the speakers. It is not structural, only cosmetic, and if they are in a bookshelf, you will never see it. They are fully functional and have that wonderful AR sound that nothing else ever really duplicated.

A pair of grilles for Acoustic Research AR-3 Speakers. Covered in imported Irish linen with the little slubs (thick threads) running in the cloth. Frames patterned from an original AR-3 grille. Included are a pair of our replica logo plates. These will replace the plastic frames that often broke and also the newer production fiber board. We have been finding AR-3a speakers manufactured using AR-3 cabinets and vise versa. The best way to identify an actual AR-3 cabinet is to check the molding that holds the grille. The AR-3 has slots all the way around and the grille slips into these slots. The AR-3a does not have these slots. Our grille sits just inside the opening without bending to fit it into these slots. Bending the grille often resulted in braking of the grille. This will not fit AR-3a cabinets. Just attach a note that you want the AR-3 Logo Plates not the AR-3a. Logo plates are brass with laser engraved black lettering identical to the original AR. Cloth is a little lighter than what we were providing years ago as it is no longer available. Two logos will be provided for a pair of grilles. Grilles may be glued in place.

These were from a pair of old speakers. The badges are mis matched as seen in the photos. There is so light cosmetic wear from age, but they are in good usable condition.
