It’s Dave Lennox – the solar power man. (Lennox commercial, 1978)

“Save energy with sunshine.”

It’s time to switch on the tube for some dusty, 1970s commercials. Our theme this weekend is home improvement and the do-it-yourself spirit.

First, we have a Black & Decker Workmate commercial featuring Bob Lilly of the Dallas Cowboys. After that, a vintage spot showing off some early solar power tech from Lennox. Look at those clunky solar panels slapped on the roof! Well, it’s a start.
