Teledyne Audio Research AR-1 SINGLE Speaker >AS IS<

Description

Does not look like the grill was ever removed, and I am not removing it out of caution as I am unfamiliar with the construction of these cabinets.   I have to assume these are original, and there is reasonable expectation if you are familiar with these speakers that there may be surround rot.  Toned with a Fluke signal injector and both drivers were responding.  DVM shows 7.2 ohms.  This is all the information I have on this speaker - it came from an estate.
I have done my best to test and determine the functionality of this unit.
I am an electronics technician who got out of the repair game when the shop I was working at closed down permanently due to CV19.  At this point I can properly test used gear but have no space nor desire to get down to the component level of servicing anymore.  I would rather move as is gear than spend time repairing and then hoping I can get a return on my efforts.
I have described all flaws or operating issues that I was able to witness.
Additional issues may present themselves as the gear heats up, as I only run the gear momentarily for testing purposes.
The photographs are of the actual unit.
Due to the nature of vintage electronics, this item is being sold “as is” for parts only, even if it is in operating condition.
By bidding on this item you agree to the fact that you are bidding on a piece of vintage electronics in “as is” condition.
All sales are final.
