[NJARC] A Blast from the past...

[JOE CRO]

John,
        I hope you didn't remove the mouse droppings, nest, etc. Don't you 
know they make AR-88's more selective? It has something to do with changing 
the "Q" of the coils. (Al Klase could explain it better than I could). I 
left everything inside of my AR-88, and it plays much better!

On a serious note, It IS NOT necessary to have a 3 ohm, and ONLY a 3 ohm 
speaker connected to your RCA AR-88, as stated in the manual. The writer of 
the manual claims damage to the audio output transformer if you attempt to 
use anything else. I've had a 8 ohm speaker plugged into my AR-88LF with no 
apparent distortion, and no "crap out" of the audio transformers.

Mod-U-Later,
                      Joe Cro N3IBX
