Teledyne Acoustic Research AR-3 Speakers >AS IS<

Description

YES, these are "AR-3" and NOT AR-3a.  Close serial numbers (C52223 & C52219).  2223 toned with a Fluke signal injector and all drivers are responsive,  DVM reads 3.7 ohms.  2219 toned with a Fluke signal injector and only the woofer responds,  DVM reads 3.3 ohms.  Original grills are in rough shape but all badges are present.  I will include two used AR original grills that do not have any badges on them.  I can replace the rotted surround on the woofers for per woofer without any other guarantees implied if the winning bidder desires.
I have done my best to test and determine the functionality of this unit.
I am an electronics technician who got out of the repair game when the shop I was working at closed down permanently due to CV19.  At this point I can properly test used gear but have no space nor desire to get down to the component level of servicing anymore.  I would rather move as is gear than spend time repairing and then hoping I can get a return on my efforts.
I have described all flaws or operating issues that I was able to witness.
Additional issues may present themselves as the gear heats up, as I only run the gear momentarily for testing purposes.
The photographs are of the actual unit.
Due to the nature of vintage electronics, this item is being sold “as is” for parts only, even if it is in operating condition.
By bidding on this item you agree to the fact that you are bidding on a piece of vintage electronics in “as is” condition.
All sales are final.
