Interesting, good video👍👍👍! It was worth it to fix them. It would have been nice to hear a short demo of some music with them, but I understand why you may be reluctant to to that. Would you please tell me how well the Krud Kutter Heavy Duty Cleaner Disinfectant works to clean the sticky stuff from plastic/rubber surfaces? I have a Free Play Radio that has a yellow rubbery case that has all of this sticky stuff on it, and that's what I want to clean. The sticky stuff doesn't seem to come off that well with other cleaners. 🤔
I have the same radio with the same issue. Sticky yellow plastic. Krud Kutter applied with 0000 steel wool worked fairly well. Isopropyl alcohol works even better. I used alcohol applied with Q tips in the hard to reach areas. Not sticky at all anymore. Good luck
@@mguess Thank you very much for your reply to the specific cleaning job I have. If isopropyl alcohol works better, I'll try that first. I have plenty of it around, but I don't have the Krud Kutter. I like to use Bestine for sticky stuff (e.g., tape glue) cleaning that alcohol doesn't work well on, but I'm worried that it could damage the plastic/rubber on the Free Play radio. Have a good day, sir, and I'll see you in your future videos! 👍👍👍
Buy the correct drivers and sell the PA drivers and recoup 1/2 your money. Often the wires are oxidized. If I recap I always rewire as well. I just did some AR-2AX and 2A and both showed oxide, granted they are cira 66 to 69. Love to see how you like them vs. The Advents after a week or so. Maybe a comparison vid? Im a fan of large advents, and 5002, but not the smallish speakerz they manufactured.
Thanks for the comments. I probably will put the PA drivers up on eBay and see what I can get for them. The AR speakers are sounding very good. I will listen to them for a while and compare them against the Advents. I'll comment back in a few weeks and let you know the results. I really like the large Advents also. I have two pairs of Advent Legacy speakers that I am listening to in a "stacked Advent" configuration. I will probably do a video on them soon.
Those are Danny’s Sonic Research modified with OKC Pyle drivers. Danny uses copper wire from leftover electrical panels.

I use a Pyle PA 15 (same series) and it excels on open baffle. Cheap drivers but excellent sound.
Thanks, I didn't think of that. I may hold on to them and try configuring an open baffle system.
