An advertisement for a color television, highlighting its advanced technology, ease of use, and reliability. The ad emphasizes the vivid color, sound quality, and extended life, offering a range of models to fit different budgets and needs. It also showcases a warranty program for peace of mind. RCA announces XL-100. With circuitry designed for extended life! Still watching black & white TV? RCA makes it a WHOLE NEW BALLGAME! RCA's XL-100 is 100% Solid State AccuColor® XL-100 is made to last. We've eliminated all chassis tubes-prime reasons for service calls-and replaced them with solid state circuitry designed to perform longer with fewer repairs. Here are color sets you can count on...and they're backed by the best warranty program ever! Each set is built with 12 exclusive plug-in AccuCircuit modules. These AccuCircuits control most set functions, so most repairs can be done in your home more quickly and easily. Brightest, sharpest color in RCA history. Every XL-100 console and table model has RCA's black matrix picture tube for vivid lifelike color. You get color that won't shift or fade even after hours of continuous viewing. And you get that vivid color and sound the instant you turn the set on. The tuning's a snap. XL-100's advanced tuning system makes color tuning virtually fool-proof! Even if the kids twiddle with the color dials, you just press a button and beautiful color snaps back, because XL-100 features AccuMatic, RCA's automatic color monitor that locks color within a normal range. Priced right for every budget. With over 40 models to choose from, there's an XL-100 that's just right for your place. And your budget. See them today, and start enjoying all the fun of color TV built to last! Backed by RCA's Purchaser Satisfaction warranty! Here are the basic provisions of our XL-100 “Purchaser Satisfaction” warranty (“PS” for short): If anything goes wrong with your new set within a year from the day you buy it, and it’s our fault, we’ll pay your...

An advertisement promotes Zanussi freezers, highlighting their efficiency and cost-effectiveness. It compares the annual running cost of a Zanussi 7 cu. ft. freezer to a standard model. The advert mentions features such as Roll-bond system and high-density insulation. It offers a guarantee and mentions a network of service agents. When your freezer eats less, your family eats more. SUNDAY MIRROR. October 15, 1978 PAGE 31 Secondly, unlike the old serpentine system, Roll-bond allows a Zanussi to have removable drawers. Which is handy if you want to freeze the odd side of lamb. And thirdly, it's more reliable because it has fewer joints. All but the smallest freezers have fitted drawer fronts. So you don't lose all that expensive cold air the moment you open the freezer door. The drawer fronts, the Roll-bond system and the insulation make for a very efficient freezer. Because of this a Zanussi motor, which is remarkably frugal with electricity anyway, is only switched on 30% of the time, compared to 45% in less well made freezers. Which is why they're cheaper to run. There are fifteen Zanussi freezers and fridge freezers to choose from. Unlike some fridge freezers ours all have a four star freezer compartment. Which means you can freeze food from scratch, instead of relying on pre-frozen food all the time. Every one is covered by a twelve month parts and labour guarantee. We also offer low cost insurance, to cover you once the guarantee has expired. And should anything go wrong, we have a network of 103 service agents around the country. By now, we hope you look upon our freezers and fridge freezers as the most efficient and reliable you can buy. Should you invest in one, you can be sure it won't eat you out of house and home. Efficiency and reliability in your kitchen. With electricity the price it is nowdays you can't afford to plug in a freezer or a fridge freezer and forget about it. Twenty four hours a day it's consuming money, which could be better spent...

An advertisement for a Fretwork Outfit. The advertisement features a young boy and suggests that ironmongers, stores and local branches do have an occasional quota. Any hope of a Hobbies Fretwork Outfit for him this year? If he's very lucky-yes. We are making a few more Outfits now but supplies are still extremely small not nearly enough to go round. Every effort though, is being made to im- prove the position, for we know full well how a Hobbies Fretwork Outfit helps the development of both character and pride of craftsmanship in a lad. Ironmongers, stores and local Hobbies branches do have an occasional quota - so there's no harm in asking!

This image showcases the advantages of Volkswagen cars, focusing on their comfortable ride, independent suspension, and reliability. It highlights the benefits of not experiencing bumps and the durability that reduces repair costs. It emphasizes the anti-sway bar, large wheels, and independent suspension. What do you miss in a Volkswagen? The bumps. They don't worry you in a VW, any more than they worry the Volkswagen's independently sprung wheels. It works like this. Instead of having two front wheels or two back wheels sharing a bump, so the whole car shudders, all four wheels on a Volkswagen work separately. One wheel takes a bump. The other three don't. So the car rides evenly. You don't get the bump, bump, bump, bump that shakes up you and the car as well. The outsize wheels help, too. VW's big wheels roll over holes that trap the wheels of baby cars. How about swaying? We correct this with an anti-sway bar. If the car starts to lean one way, the anti-sway bar sets up an equal, but oppo- site, pressure. Big wheels. Anti-sway bar. Independent torsion bar suspension. These are a few reasons why VW wins trials, and there are many others as well. Let's just say it's a wonderfully reliable and durable car. You don't have your hand in your pocket every second day, paying for parts and repairs. That's another thing you miss, as well as the bumps. Aren't you broken hearted?

This is a black and white advertisement for 35mm camera film. It encourages 35mm camera owners to get more out of their cameras by putting in new Kodacolor 400ASA colour print film. It promises rich, beautiful colours and claims it fits any 35mm camera. An open challenge to every 35mm camera owner. You'll get a lot more out of your 35mm camera when you put new 'Kodacolor' 400ASA colour print film into it. It's the most exciting new film for years. And it's going to help your camera do a lot of things you thought it couldn't. It's a high-speed film. Which means it's more sensitive to light so you can choose a faster shutter speed or a smaller aperture. 'Kodacolor' 400 film will help you to take better pictures in poor light. It will make it easier to capture fast action in daylight. It will give you the rich, beautiful colours you expect from Kodak film. And it fits any 35mm camera, from Asahi Pentax to Zenith. Including yours. Suggested retail price £1.50 for 24 exposures, or £1.94 for 36. Kodak and Kodacolor are trademarks.
