I have a National brand meat grinder, this thing is over 35 years old now but still operates just as new. Quality was really good back in the days.

Panasonic was created AFTER National and for the US market were National already existed as a brand (chas registers I think). National is the original brand, mostly used in Japan, Panasonic for US, National-Panasonic for Europe. From Panasonic they derived Technics just for quality audio its low entry level Quasar. For electronic parts or other things that are unrelated to consumers, they use also Matsushita which is the name of the coportation.

The brand has a huge plant in my country, Philippines. We would often drive passed it. Back then in the 90's, it bore "National/Panasonic" (a red background for National and a blue background for Panasonic) on top of the building but when I saw the plant in 2018, the plant only bore the Panasonic name

They didn't sell out. Abba were very aware of promotion and certainly didn't do this for the money (well, not the money they got paid anyway). This was a way of getting Abba on the TV and promoting their music

That is not true...They were given $1million for these commercials as they were not that rich then and they wanted the money to get the Tour of 1977 of the ground *quoted from Benny! *also Benny said they regret very much selling out this song to National it was a big mistake and will never do anything like this again. ..TRUE !!

These ads were filmed in Australia and broadcast on Australian commercial TV networks in the late 1970s. National was the business name that Panasonic traded under in Australia until the early 1980s. Panasonic scored a great coup to engage ABBA and use Fernando for this campaign. ABBA were huge in Australia, probably even bigger than The Beatles. Fernando stayed at #1 on the Australian charts for months after it was released.

Yes these commer islands were filmed in Sweden in Benny and Fridas flat in the Old Town area. The outside parts were filmed on the grounds of their home. Australian National sent a crew over to Sweden to film them. ABBA got paid millions and used it to fund their Australian tour and these were played during their TV special

A couple of years ago, I ordered a DVD of an old Australian comedy show called Funky Squad (which aired late nights here in Canada back in the 90's) and was pleasantly surprised to find these commercials (and many others from the 70's, when the show was actually set) inserted into some of the breaks. Any chance you collected these from the same disc?

But then these were made for the Australian market, which didn't use the Panasonic brand name. I guess they decided to use the National name there. Here in the U.S. they were already using the Panasonic name. STAY AWESOME! :)
