Looking for an original 303 or 303a midrange

Thanks

My suggestion would be to contact Bill LeGall at Millersound http://www.millersound.net/contact.htm

If a driver can be fixed, he's the guy who can do it.

Be certain that you have a problem with the driver first. Many times, an intermittent driver can be traced to a faulty push-tab connection or a cold-solder connection in the crossover. Do not attempt to go in and modify or repair one of the domes, as it is very difficult to return it to original specs. You can get it to function, fine, but it's difficult -- if not impossible -- to return it to original specifications.

Be sure to isolate the problem before you send the driver away. I had an Allison: One several years ago that did the same thing. It would cut in and out, and it would sometimes "crackle," and so forth. I eventually traced the problem back to the crossover board itself, and I found that many connections had been "cold" soldered. This is much less likely in something like the AR-303, but I'd check that first. As a last resort, I would try to locate another driver rather than try to get it repaired.

Good luck! --Tom Tyson

Tom makes some good points. Maybe you should swap the tweeters you have and see if the problem follows the tweeter.

I'm parting out a great pair of AR 303a's over the next week. Shoot me a PM and we can talk about the mid you need. I have two perfectly matched and great sounding.

Hi Sparks......I tired to PM you but no reply. I was interested in anything you take off the 303;s as I have a pair that I love and would be nice to have spares. Thanks for any reply.
