I am working on some AR 4x that my brother gave me after picking them up at a garage sale for 10 bucks. I got on this forum looking for some info on these and came across a couple of posts that mentioned the stuffing in these could be asbestos. I am skeptical (looks like yellow fiberglass to me) but thought someone may have some more info on this. Rather not put it back in there if this is the case.
That behind me - I have one going back together and the other still to go. Cloth surrounds are good - one tweet had to be reattached to the baseplate about half-way around. Cleaned with Murphy's oil soap, touched up with some stain, painted the baffle and they look much better than when he brought them to me. Still some prety serious dings in the cabinets though. Had it hooked up to be sure I installed the pot correctly - different speaker on the other channel - and can't wait to hear the pair. My impression from the one speaker alone is that these should really sound sweet.
Hope someone can clear up this asbestos idea.
