Summary: Buyer Beware
Review: I had the pleasure or displeasure of trying and testing this Crosley turntable. No never mind how nice the wood finish is but you need to ask how well does the turntable itself perform. The turntable platter and tonearm are pure plastic ! As for the cartridge, buyer beware. If you intend to purchase one of these faux 'tables ask the sales person how to obtain an extra cartridge or stylus for the stylus is not a typical p-mount (plug and play) that you can just get from Best Buy or Radio Shack. It seems to be maufactured to fit the Crosley turntable only. Now as for the sound, this will blow your mind. Why on earth would any company manufacture an audio product, concentrate totally on the "nice" wood finish but neglect to make at least a half decent turntable playing mechanism ? Beats me.We're not looking for audiophile grade components here but at least humor the consumer with something that sounds better than a AM transistor radio. The sound you will get from the "full range" speakers means there are no 2 way or 3 way speakers built in (then again, neither was there in the 1930's). If you want something to add to your nostalgic Americana memorabilia just to look at then the Crosley will fit in nicely. If you are expecting mid to hi-end analog quality sound, forget it.Look elsewhere. The flimsy tonearm needle will not track those slightly warped lp's you may own...
