Help me resurrect my AR-90s


So, I pulled my AR90s out after many years of storage and it looks like the woofers as well as the surround need to be replaced.

My dad bought these back in England in the late 70s for $350 for the pair..."the only time I ever bounced a check he says!" Anyway, he gave them to me in 1997 when I joined the Air Force and I've drug them all over the world from Maine to Pennsylvania to Colorado to Italy to Alaska and now back to Colorado. I haven't used them for over 10 years. I've recently gotten back into vinyl records and I'm wanting to set up as system with the old AR-90s.

Where can I find replacement woofers that won't change the factory sound? Anything else I should check on them before I crank them (once the woofers are fixed?

Before you do anything call Bill LEgall at Miller Sound in PA. 215 412-7700 He knows the speakers well and may be able to fix them or he will know what to replace them with.
by your pic's it looks like a simple refoam is all you need. an earlier poster recommended vintage-ar (Larry Lagace) as a source for surrounds. i've dealt with Larry many times and can second the recommendation. make sure you get a full kit for each pair of drivers. this will include the shims and replacement dustcaps required to refoam them correctly.

i would not pay a shop to refoam AR drivers. its very straightforward and not a complicated process to do yourself. for 3 surround kits and shipping it should put you around $70 or so.

as for recapping the crossover, this should do it...

Yeah, I plan to refoam myself. A local fella has volunteered to help me do the first set for me to learn. He has a garage full of AR stuff! I've ordered the 8" set from vintage-ar, but the 10" set currently on ebay doesn't say it's for the AR-90 model, so I have a message in to ask Larry if they will still fit.

The link you left for the caps didn't work when I cut & pasted it.
it works for me when i just click on the link....

i sent you an email with the link, hopefully one or the other will work.
