It's heartwarming to know I'm not the only one that sits here watching these things in the wee hours of the morning in a leisure suit. Great post! - Lj
@@DeadKoby Yeah right. My new Marantz receiver isn't built anything like the old ones. Their $5,000 and up components are. I can't complain about the sound quality though.
I love it when people post these commercials on RUclips. Good job. Bringing back electronic memories. And too many hours spent in front of my parents TV.
Nice! I got a Pioneer direct drive turntable, Pioneer CD cd player, and Sansui 661 receiver. The 70s and into the mid 80s was the golden age of stereo.
oh the vintage receivers and that illumination the roller bearing and rubber bands at the tuner dial ! so cool . i always dreamed of that fisher component system behind the glass door ! saw one not long ago on curb side bulk pick up . some one cut all the cords for copper . i still grabbed it and am rewiring
+GlAcKeNbUrGeN No, you don't. If you're napping on it, there's always some jerkoff who will wake you up by turning the volume up on your stereo sofa and playing the sounds of army artillery...
+GlAcKeNbUrGeN ITS THE COOLEST THING EVER! okay it might be hard to replace the belts on the tape and 8 track but its a freegin cool thing okay its a fire harzard but who cares ITS A STEREO SOFA!!!!
My friend had that stereo bar. It had the disco lights. I remember that very well.As ghetto as they were they probably got this deal. They might of has that TV too.
this with low-fi woman with very limited volume(in sound) was perfect, i remenber that was fashion to buy a bed with a stereo system on it and shelf´s to put books and cassettes ,a king size one
I remember the Stereo warehouse back in the 70s.Some these commercials bring back memories 50 years from now today's digital technology will be showing just like this.
WOW! That Korvettes commercial REALLY took me back a ways. You can't GEt good stuff that lasted from your teens til your CHILDREN'S teens anymore hahahah! The time when we were young and never thought of getting old (smile). great sound, GREAT food, before they told it it wasn't good for us anymore hahhha.
Those vintage stereos were well built. Especially the High end pioneers like the SX1980. I guess I should have had it repaired instead of throwing it away in the 80's. I ran it wide open most of the time.
@@brianchisnell1548 I have some reel to reel tapes that were recorded directly off Chicago FM radio. One from 1980 has several Pacific Stereo ads with their old jingle. So it must have been a national chain store?
Great Commercials, back in the day when i would lust after all that equipment and couldn't afford nothing because I didn't make any money. Now i Have the money and the new equipment today sucks.
@@edstephens8955 Mine was €1000 5 years ago. It's a very nicely built 2x120W class A/B amplifier. Sounds expensive, but adjusted for inflation it'd be $160 in 1970. The amp I have and am comparing is a Block V120 made in Germany.
You know tech has come a long way since then. It's smaller, faster, does more and fits in your hand. BUT, There's nothing like the feel and sound of a quality stereo with big speakers in your house. Tall speakers with 12" woofers, equalizers with dancing lights, tape decks, ect. I miss the old times. You can't rattle the house with your music with a smart phone!
17:43 This Pacific Stereo jingle was a classic! Terry McGovern provides the voice-over. 10:39 Ed Grover was a great voice-over talent... and here he is for the Apple IIc.
My parents had that Sanyo compact stereo at 31:27, which I put through hours of use, listening and recording. It was a great unit, and ran speakers all over the house (kitchen, bathroom, outside, etc). It last for years until they wanted to finally get a CD player.
Wow! Spent many an hour walking through the local Federated drooling on stuff I couldn’t afford. Bought my first ever receiver and speakers at Pacific Stereo. Lived walking distance from the HQ for Marantz and the original MFSL. Thanks for the memories!
In town we had Pacific Stereo, Cal Stereo, Stereo West, Stereo Habitat, Systems Warehouse plus stereo departments (some with soundproof listening rooms) at Sears, JC Penneys, Alco TV & Stereo, Liberty House, Best Products, Federated and Gemco. Within a short driving distance were The Soundworks, Layfette Stereo, Quement Electronics, Good Guys and many more. Fun days!
20:06 times have surely changed. Amazing. These are true gems. After seeing some of these makes me wonder if the iPad and iPod are going look archaic in the next fifty years? Thanks John, flashback central to simpler times~ Rob/Boston
I still have my JVC-RD1969. You can get blank 7" on Amazon and also EBay. Main reason why we liked using those open reel machines was for the Sound on Sound recording feature.

I had to watch this ... What I found funny is the Columbia house order forms ... Lol ... I used 2 different name to get double the albums as a kid ... Then I used another ... And I got them !!! Who did not rip off that company as a kid . I would never do it now but being a kid in the 70"s ???? Lol
I did that too. twice under two names. It felt so naughty. How did they every make money on this deal. Did anybody every actually buy anything? I never did. I still have an old Judas Priest (Sad wings of destiny, I believe) cassette from 1978. All the rest are lost in the mists of time.
I just bought a Marantz. Lighted blue background with a white tuner. Dual meters. There is nothing in the world like the sound of analog. And I will tell you. even today. The Marantz is no where near inexpensive.
All people have today is Alexa or Google Home or a Bluetooth Speaker. Gone is the teenagers bedroom with a stereo and big speakers and records tapes cds.
Awesome video and what a job gathering all that vintage footage ..NICE WORK!!!! BTW that first commercial was mickey from Rocky 1 2 3 .. Again nice job on the vid
I was 11 i miss those days going downtown in Chicago window shoping for ghetto blasters or going on 63 and halsted or 47 and Ashland or 14 and halsted the maxwell street area the good old days
I want to go back to the 1980s and buy me a huge boom box 😎 Columbia House music club .Oh yes , I remember .By the late 1980s it was a CD club. Used to buy ALOT of cds from them
Columbia House. Yup. 12 "free" LPs to start or whatever the number. But what a rip-off. Forget to send the postcard back in time each month, and get stuck with some crappy LP for twice or three times the local price. Total scam.
Maybe the best looking perhaps , best sounding ever? Nooooo. Electronics and speaker technologies have come a long way since the 70’s and are certainly better because of advances in electronic design and speaker research and materials.

Same here, who could afford a $1000 receiver, decades later I was buying the same stuff for $20 at garage sales.I had so much stereo stuff my house looked like a stereo store.
I hate how I keep getting interrupted by a bunch of commercials when I'm enjoying watching a bunch of commercials.
These are GOOD commercials though... The new ones stink.

I remember when there used to be stores (brick and mortar) that only sold stereos. Those were the days.
there still are, but the gear is pricey
The sound idea on Fredericksburg rd
D O W Dow! Dow stereo in San Diego. 'Still have my 1979 Pioneer rig. Store is long gone.
Although the still exist, but nice stereos at decent prices are history... It's either JUNK, or crazy high end.

Thank you for posting this, this is awesome!!!!
I had a pioneer SX-780 back in the day
I need to enter a time machine and go back to 70s so I could buy all the best stereos
U are right my friend, let's build a time machine together.
Take a lot of money with you. Electronics were very expensive back then!!
If you do,go to korvettes

Time Machine.

That first ad for Pioneer is Burgess Meredith. The Penguin. That guy really got around.

I remember my first CD player. $300 single disc no remote and CDs were $20...
I love this collection......Ahhhhh, the good ol' days..... thanks!
Thank you so much for sharing these awesome ads!
I had forgotten that Burgess Meredith used to narrate commercials. I didn't know his name back then, but I knew his distinctive voice and face.
Burgess Meredith narrating the first commercial. Awesome.
This was a real joy to watch. I really liked the Pioneer comercial at the end.
Had a smile on my face the whole time- thanks for the upload.

people just don’t prioritize them like they used to when they have a speaker everywhere they go. Stereos sound even better today
I still have a stereo system (7.1 actually) with huge front speakers. It sounds amazing.

Thank you for putting that together. Love old commercials.
Thanks brings back TV memories
I was hoping federated commercial would be here, God how I miss that store, spent a lot of my childhood hood shopping stereo equipment there!!!
Oh yeah I loved Federated

They will, but that's alright.
OMG I never get tired of watching, laughing, and drooling at this video lol. The kid at 14:25 just makes me break down laughing every single time lol
yes there was a time when there was a hifi store everywhere.
Classic commercials.
I remember the Pioneer
tv advertising from the
1980s.
Wow! Reminds me of how much back then we were more focused on the sound of our music than the sound of our tv's. Still gotta love the sound of LP's!
goatstaog I agree! Music is a bigger part of my life as well :)
I still focused on sound of my music and hi-fi. I even dont have big screeny TV lol
Home theatre systems rule for most people but for music lovers like myself I only listen to music via a dedicated “just audio” hi fi system
Dude,Totally enjoyed the commercials.But you threw me right off a cliff with the wal-mart commercial at the end.I live in Ft.Walton.
Please I'd like to go back in time with a very large wad of cash 😂😂
Amazing commercial's compilation! Thanks for sharing!
I still own a vintage Pioneer RT-909 Reel To Reel!!
I doubt it
Why do you doubt it?
Tapes for 4 track reel to reel are not easy to find these days.
I still have my JVC-RD1969. You can get blank 7" on Amazon and also EBay. Main reason why we liked using those open reel machines was for the Sound on Sound recording feature.
Completing a refurb on one right now. I could never have afforded one back in the day.
I'm glad you liked the pacific stereo ads so much you lifted them from my channel, complete with the editel headers.
@punktexas.....thanks for the flashback! thoroughly enjoyed the ride!
Ah! Back when audio was important to people.
I just got back into vinyl and even though you wouldn't call my rig audiophile quality I am enjoying music so much more now
Oh how I long to go straight back to that time, greatest era and all the adverts were brilliant.

What an awesome video! Thanks for taking me back!:)
Ty for sharing..I love it !
I wish I could find Stereo Super Store ads from the late '70s Portland Oregon. Used to work on Jantzen Beach in one. Oh what days those were!
Mine too. Shhhh....watching this again while rifling through duplicate lp's. This is freakin' awesome!
When I was in high school in the seventies, everybody wanted a Marantz receiver stereo system.
Who would of thought in 2020, that people still want a 1970s Marantz Receiver Stereo System.
23:06. "Hey, hey, heyyy!"
I was in high school in the 40's.
We still do.
The Pioneer ads with Burgess Meredith are the best!
Time travel back to my childhood years. The forgotten memories buried in my subconscious relived through ads I don't remember, pretty cool. Cheers!
OMG!! I was drooling the entire time!!!!!
Love the Keep America Clean ad with Iron Eyes Cody, who's real name was Espera Oscar de Corti of Sicilian descent.
Sherwood, Advent, Garrard. Those were the days shopping at Federated
Thanks
Nice advertisement video of audio systems
Love from india 🙏
