Just stumbled on this and it gave me chills like I was transported back 30 years.

When was the last time you saw a Pacific Stereo commercial?

Unitec walkman $119 
I like the way he says they are having an "Over Stock Sale" and then at the end says some items may be limited
Good stuff.
How about THE FEDERATED GROUP

That was freakin awesome Chris, I miss those simply dumb commercials.
I wonder if I still have my Fred and Frieda Rated autographed pictures.

I bought my Pioneer SK-21 and Panasonic RX-5100 from Pacific Stereo and I'd go in there every week to drool over boxes like the JVC RC-550.

I remember those Federated comercials. They used to have a huge one in Pinole, Ca. near my house. Used to visit there all the time and play with the boomboxes.

I'm pretty sure I paid around $120 for both models.
That was huge $$$ for a 14 year old kid in 1980

Autographed pictures....
CLASSIC! Yeah, I forgot about Frieda Rated! They were so funny. We had one in Canoga Park. They had EVERYTHING Electronics. The first time I ever saw a VCR was there. Also top end stuff like Nakamichi, Blaupunkt and the like. Stuff you could not get at Sears, Montgomery Wards or Radio Shack. Gluecifer said:
Rick, the way you love the 80's you should look at more of those commercials. Those were right in the mix of our time! So Classic! So 80's

Your talking about those huge top loading VCR's.
Every once in a while I see one at the thrifts but they don't stay on the shelf very long, do people collect them? I can't imagine anyone buying one to use.

Absolutely...Those items were big money back in the day!
The first time I ever saw a VCR at someones house it had a 20 foot cable connected to it for the remote control. It was the very first time I ever saw video PAUSED....and it looked like CRAP

My dads had that 20 foot cable on remote too and a 100 foot cable on the $1500 video camera he bought to record with...LOL
He was able to take it outside in front of house and video tape us. The extra bag with a battery operated portable VCR cost another $1000+ or so but he never got it....
