Finally got a chance to finish up my AR3 restore today, and I am thrilled with the results! I ended up sending the mids to Roy C as the output was pretty weak even after installing the new oil caps and Ohmite pots. Fortunately, Roy was able to bring them back to life and now they sound fantastic! I scrubbed the grills in the shower with a little Method all purpose cleaner, and polished the badges with a mixture of baking soda and lemon juice. I washed the cabs with warm water and a little dish liquid soap, rinsed, let dry and then hit them with a few coats of dark walnut danish oil + a touch of Minwax gunstock to add a little bit of that AR reddish hue back in. They now look and sound incredible and I am thrilled! So satisfying to bring these 50+ year old legends back to their former glory. Hooked up to my MC2300, I finally see why these speakers are so universally praised.
Thanks to all of the fellow AR nuts here at AK for all the help and advice along the way (esp Roy C for the mid magic and Spelkid for the assist!). I can't think of a better way to celebrate 1k posts!
