Heathkit AS-103s

[Thatch_Ear]

Picked up a pair of these at an estate sale. The woofers' foam are rotted out and Grumpy thought they might be AR3 knockoffs. I need to get some foam rings but don't know if I should go with regular 12 rings or the ones made for ARs. I had noticed on Parts Express that the ARs had specially made surrounds. Anyone have a clue?

Sorry I could not find anything in my speaker guide from 1979. They must have stopped making them by then. This was the most I could dig up and they cant seem to agree on what it is modeled after either.

Thanks. These came out of a house that had supposedly been locked up for 30 years. Full of Heath, HK and Mac gear and TVs.

A bit more info. The surrounds are 8.5" inside to 9.5" outside. A pair of 12" that came out of some Scotts have surrounds that go from 9" to 10". These seem like nice speaks, heavy and well made. I sure don't want to trash them. Any AR-3 owners out there that will do some measuring for me?
