Tech Hi-Fi commercial from Xmas 1980

Tech Hi-Fi was a stereo store chain in the New York area. I put this commercial up because near the end it shows Pioneer's first laserdisc player, the VP-1000, with a green-label DiscoVision disc. One of the few times I've seen laserdisc advertised on TV, especially this early.

I bought that exact same Dual turntable (CS-506) at a Tech HiFi in 1980.

Just think -- someday, iPods will look just as obsolete!

New York chain??? NOT QUITE Ace...

It may have migrated there but it started in Boston ---- typical that you yorkers continue to try and lay claim to what others do....

I miss those old receivers with all those pretty chrome dials and toggles and buttons and how they lit up. When I was a kid in the 70's I'd play "Star Trek" flipping those switches and dials for hours-on-end. Now it's all black faces and minimalist displays--no more style.

@freakybuzz Thank you for sharing that. I did look it up. I had no idea. Is there a way you can know before hand if this has been done to the music before you buy it??
