A few weeks ago at the Goodwill, a really clean pair of Fried A/2's. New surrounds installed last week. They sound great.

I believe these and a few other similar models like the Q/3's are from the early 1980's.

They're quite nice. And the design is interesting with this long port all the way across the bottom front with a big wad of foam stuffed into it. Apparently designed to deal with room acoustics, but I can't hear much difference with the foam strip in or out.

I just became aware of this brand...seems like they are sort of in fashion...they are sort of in the same league as Seiko and Citizen price wise. I saw one of the techs sporting one with...had a larger than usual size watch face on it.

I knew a guy back in the 80's that had a huge watch face. Bigger than the stuff you see around today. If you'd ask him what time it was he'd dump out a pile of coke on it. Guess he was ahead of his time

Lol I hope he is still around....that must have been a sight to see lol

Yeah the Nixons with a watch face that are a bit larger than a silver dollar are going for around 150-200 dollars new on Ebay. I had a battery put in my Nixon today...it works. SCORE! my watch is an older one run of the mill.
