These are like 5 minutes from my house. No pics, but you could request some. I know AR is a great name that made great speakers. Not sure what the signature thing is, but I figured they could be worth something. If someone wants me to pick these up, let me know...I am leaving today, so I'd have to pick them up mid week, but you'd have to arrange that with the seller.

    The signature card is the inspection card stapled to the back of the speaker. It indicates the speaker was tested and tested good. They used to do things like that back then.

    AR-2ax is a good 3-way speaker, but $100 strikes me as steep unless they're in extremely good condition. The Achilles' heel of the old ARs is (are) the MR and HF pots (which are pots, not L-pads, in fact), which get very corroded and noisy/intermittent. Reparable or replaceable, they be.
