’70s Flashback: Forgotten Brands A-Z, Part 3

Tandberg (December 1973), Teac (May 1978), Toshiba (March 1973)

A couple weeks ago we presented our second installment of iconic ’70s-era advertisements from long-forgotten brands with names that fall in the middle of the alphabet (N–S). Our favorites: the 1974 Pioneer ad that looks like an Allman Brothers album cover and Sansui’s “Quad Almighty” ad from 1975. Here in this final installment we pick up where we left off, starting with classics from Tandberg, Teac, and Toshiba.
