[djparnate]

@BansheeMilk lol nice life story ...

[MattHatter]

Dynamite stereo! HORRIBLE LEISURE SUIT! 

[Morahman7vnNo2]

DYNAMITE STEREO!

[Eddie62070]

Jack Tripper's brother?

[delosdmi]

What album was he playing?

[themachman19691]

Yamaha made some great hi-fi equipment years ago,all made in Japan,now they're slung together in Taiwan or China

[wtf66611]

Some dude punched him in the eye because his blue leisure suit makes him look like a gay douchebag.

[delosdmi]

@wtf66611 Its alot better than a hip hopper of today walking around with their pants down and as arrogant and obnoxious as can be.

[doncirelli]

My favorite line from this commercial - "Yamaha exceeds even its own specifications!"

- HUH?

I doubt it. Not in the mid-70's when specs and power were EVERYTHING. Nobody was going to low-ball their own specs if they wanted to sell their product.

Don't get me wrong, Yamaha made some great stuff. I owned a few Yamaha components and loved them.

[guimbadriver]

THE tape deck of this line is ugly is the TC820GL but the recording quality is very good for a simple cassette deck the good features of this deck was pitch control, operated by AC mains and internal battery,8 dry flashlight cells and external 12v car cord illuminated vus in AC mais in 12 v is optional using the light key

Man in that baby blue safari suit I bet he sure pulled the ladies.

Oh honey, your hair, it looks AMAZING!

Thats because I USE 'Cossack' Hairspray baby, the hairspray for REAL men.

[BoudjeR6]

Nice i'm a Yamaha fan i like the old equiment the most, now they have the A-S2000 and

CD-S2000 the look like 70's equipment and the quality of it is also verry good.

I hope that Yamaha go make the big pre and power amplifiers again.

[agfamatic91]

yamaha made some very good sound equpment back in the day. i have a natural sound series amp, cd player and cassette deck i also have a natural sound series turntable but its a bit on the cheap side so i use a pioneer turntable instad

[thenoti1]

Today Yamaha SUCK totaly.

[gamesDAMNED]

After this, he picked up a brochure and learned how to dress himself.

[thatmuse76]

@gamesDAMNED

Ah, you beat me to it. I was thinking that as well.

[MrSecondSkin]

Look at the dudes left eye. either he got into a fight prior to the commercial or he was hit on the field playing ball. And it's clear he is wearing eye massacre

[pastryhat]

ive got some old yamaha stuff. holds up well and sounds great!

[rhythmvato]

WOO-HOO! the Canadian Football League!!!

[JoshuaTaylor]

Yamaha *still* makes some of the best amps available... I found an old 'tube model' on eBay, and I swear it has some of the best, most natural sound I've ever heard...

[hogger01]

I still own that same turn table and Ca1000 amplifier, They both work great!!

[producerben]

I do like Yamaha stuff. Mainly their cassette decks and obviously the standard NS10M Monitors (the originals with the ultra sensitive hf units) :-)

[chocobo77]

that looks like john ritters step brother after making this comercial he killed himself....cuz he spend 1.300 hundred dollars on that suit and rent was due.........shit happens

[gmcjetpilot]

HA HA!!! Leisure suit, I was a little kid than, I had one. I was cool man. He looks like my friends older brother. That stereo is huge. Must put out 5 watts.... ha ha. (Kidding I think it is a CA-1000 120 WATT) That was a golden time for stereos through the 80's. Pioneer made some good stuff to. I don't know why you all are calling it jap crap, because this we the beginning of Japans dominance in electronics for decades. Now even Sony is struggling, but for awhile Japan was very progressive.

[JohnnyGrass]

What a pimp!

[ysam14]

Wasn't that guy in the movie "Meatballs"?

[Amishman35]

It's strange, you look at it, and you're like...where's the CD player...this was 34 years ago. Liquid Crystal Displays only displayed numbers (and you could still buy an LED watch), the Atari 2600 wasn't made yet, the Apple II was just a dream, and most cassette decks weren't full logic. Did they even have linear tracking turntables back then?? What VCR did you get this commercial off of? It had to be one of the first Betamax recorders....

[gmcjetpilot]

Yea Betamax most likely, VHS possibly which came out first, but not toll 1977 it took off with JVC's version. Any home video machine was rare in 1976. The Betamax was expensive, like $600-$800 1976 bucks. My friends parents had one. It was big. They came out about 1974 and would be dead about 10 years later. The price fell pretty quick in the late 70's early 80's as price wars happened with other types of machines VHS.

[ddl312]

Yamaha Is not all bad, I have a CR-600 and it's not bad. Only thing wrong is it made in japan. Same thing goes with Sansui.

[grumpybb]

Mismatched speakers?

[darlingpresleyrocks]

That dude has a muffin top over his polyester pants. lol

X-)

[wilkes85]

Well, even though yamaha is jap crap, I would still buy a vintage yamaha stereo.

[zobajoe]

Far Out!

[dyonker]

Groovy!!!

[WOLF192]

OLD STEROS AND TVS AND VIDEO GAMES ARE BETTER THAN THE NEW DIGITAL CRAP FROM TODAY.a

[max6669]

That is so true.I have a Yamaha from the early 80's and I use it only for music however,I have a newer yamaha and only use it for movies.

[70sman4ever]

@WOLF192 Right on brother...right on!! You make me proud because you know quality, like me!

[newfuckingwave]

@WOLF192 150% agree on stereo equipment, but there's no comparing an old tube tv with one from now. just MY opinion anyway, enjoy what you like

[mrrk]

would you trust a man in that suit???

[alphamone]

nope. :D

[mrrk]

same here :-)

[longfade]

Way cool stuff. It's interesting that it seems like a kind of "Hey, give Yamaha a chance" kind of ad. Definitely back in the day.  I love that old Natural Sound stuff.

[thebob34]

great old ad.cheers for sharing

[1987ian]

wow!football too!

[aldiakaroofus]

Pioneer receivers of the 70s were prettier than the Yamahas

[adamcharney]

Damn straight! I've got a Pioneer PL-518.
