jake1960 Posted April 11, 2020 Share Posted April 11, 2020 Hello all, I know nothing about music, sound equip, audio stuff or these Frazier speakers I just got. Any help is very much appreciated. Near as I can tell by looking at old posts, these may be Frazier Del Mar and appear to me as mid century modern style perhaps 1960's? I would like to hear them to be sure they work before I sell them, my wife wants to paint them green and purple and use them for plant stands in the dining room..... can I wire these to any record player or stereo or does it need to be a high quality system (which I dont own) Looks like Walnut veneer over plywood. There are only 2 screws (speaker wires?) on each of the back panels. Sequential serial numbers too I sell junk on ebay and CL but really hate shipping large fragile items. I'll try to post some pics. Thanks, Jake, Dalton, PA 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jake1960 Posted April 12, 2020 Author Share Posted April 12, 2020 I won't allow that....Others steer me to facebook and I know nothing of how that works. I see the group there but don't know where to write a message. I just need to know how to test these and what they are worth. Any help?? jake Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

geoff. Posted April 12, 2020 Share Posted April 12, 2020 Yes Run the speaker wires from whatever you have to the screw terminals Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WMcD Posted April 12, 2020 Share Posted April 12, 2020 You certainly don't need a "high quality system" to test them. Just connect speaker outputs of an amp to the screw terminals, being careful for shorting between the screws. Maybe you have what I call an old "dorm room" receiver. By no means should you paint them because it will ruin any resale value. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
garyrc Posted April 12, 2020 Share Posted April 12, 2020 Trivia: there is a Frazier in Once Upon a Time in Hollywood, in Sharon Tate's place, I think. It takes place in 1969. But the Frazier is a different model speaker than yours (a different shape and size). (From Allan Songer's post Finally Analog here in the high desert --in 2 channel Home Audio on this forum. See that thread for a list of more equipment seen in the movie). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
