Description: PLEASE READ CAREFULLY. This is not for the sale of a mid range driver. This is a repair service for your defective mid range. You will pay the listing price times the number of mid ranges you are sending us for repair. THIS EBAY ORDER IS OUR TRACKING INFORMATION, PLEASE DO NOT SEND DRIVERS WITHOUT PLACING THIS ORDER. WE HAVE HAD DRIVERS SHOW UP WITH NO DOCUMENTATION. By now, many if not most of the AR-3 mid ranges suffer from low output volume or no response at all. You will send your mid range to us and we will rebuild it. We will repair the voice coil if necessary and if possible and free up the stiffened internal and external suspensions. We will also install new tinned copper wire leads for easy re-installation. There were actually two versions of the earlier production mid range as shown in the listing photo. The one on the right is the earliest version. The one on the left with the rounded domed rear cover followed it. We will rebuild both versions. Be aware, once we rebuild your original mid range, it will likely be louder and clearer than your other one unless you rebuild them both. However, if your second mid range still has a strong output, you can achieve a balance with the rear volume controls. These are very heavy and will be damaged in shipping unless you pack it well. Surround each mid range with a generous wrap of bubble wrap and box in a sturdy box. Be sure they will not bump against one another when your carrier drops the box. Bubble wrapped and then double boxed with the inner box surrounded by shipping peanuts is even better. Insure it with the carrier. We have found the free Postal 6 x 6 x 7 in. Priority Box (you can order on line, USPS.com) to work well for the inner boxes. Then place them in a second sturdy box.We will provide you the ship to address in Colonie, NY 12205-2116. If for any reason, we are unable to affect a repair, we will refund your payment. Once your mid range has been repaired, we will invoice you for the return shipping. Note: if you intend to have us service your mid range do not attempt to disassemble or repair it prior to sending it to us. It is very likely that you will damage it. This has taken us years to perfect this repair under a magnifying lens. We may reject any with signs of previous repair attempts. We may apply an added charge if a prior attempt at a repair is found and we are successful. Feedback regarding a recent repair. "Just got my mid ranges back today, set up my speakers, through on a Joni Mitchel album to hear the mids...and I was blown away at how good they sounded. The mid ranges were super clear and detailed. It was worth the work put in to restore my AR 3's. It was a pleasure working with Larry at Vintage-AR. They do great work!" Thanks again Greg" Additional comments: "The vocals and the midrange sounds now have so much clarity, definition, and presence that when combined with the high and woofer drivers, it undeniably makes the whole listening experience so much more enjoyable. I really want to thank you and your team for repairing these. Your service has been exceptional and very professional. " Peter" "The mid ranges look and sound terrific!! I was beginning to think I was never going to get them back together. Thanks for all your guys hard work. Ken" Hey, just wanted to let you know that the driver got in earlier today and I just got it installed. It sounds wonderful, better than it ever has. Thank you so much for being so helpful and responsive! Just got my AR-3 speakers reassembled/ finished up today. They sound fantastic! The tweeters and mids were non-functional before, after the the repair they are working great! Highly recommend Powered by eBay Turbo Lister The free listing tool.
