better living through Magnavox 1970s vintage TV ad 

Man I love all this cutting edge modern technology in this commercial.

I have that very same system shown in the very beginning of this video.. It needs to be restored new needle and capacitors for the receiver. I saved it from the junk pile my dad was cleaning out the cellar and i saw it outside and grabbed it. Can't beat the sound those machines had.

It may not be digital, but if there's one thing I like it's audio components that look like audio components! :)

Ah, the way we were... Forty years on, maybe people will have a smile or a giggle over the ads for the glowing rectangles we prize so much now.

Great, atmospheric ad. Thanks!

You can get this commercial on a DVD called "The 70s Dimension"- it's a bunch of 16mm TV commercials rescued from a TV station's dumpster. I would've fired the guy who positioned the speakers as shown at 0:16

There was a portable Magnavox TV ad on RU-vid years ago, with a big product picture lineup at the end. The RU-vid police erased it. I wish the Magnavox ads would show up with the frequency of the RCA ads.

This looks like early 1970s, like 1972-73

I was waiting for moment when dude will -" It's very easy to use. Just hit the record button, start from you taking your pants off..."

Too bad we can't hear their dialogue on the sofa: "Oh, Mike, all this talk about woofers and tweeters really turns me on..."

does anyone know what the music playing in the ad is? name of song and band?

groovy far out i can dig it

@sasukeluver345 Looks like it's out of print now! Someone has a used copy though on Amazon for about $20- time to make some backup copies of mine!

I'll take the reel to reel player in a minute...

at the end --did they put the reel to reel player upside down?????

@eyeh8nbc agreed lol. where can i buy this dvd? i collect old vintage ads. got a bunch on paper from magazines.

I don't know if i want one of these or a technics
