Author's Review
I've wanted this player for a while now and I was excited to get one for Christmas. When I turned it on, I found that the CD player worked well, but that's about it.
- The radio dial looks cool but is difficult to read, and it's hard to dial in stations on either end of the spectrum.
- The tape player doesn't have buttons. It has no FF, RW, Pause or Stop functions; it plays when you push the tape in, and you have to eject it to stop. Lame.
- The turntable didn't work. When I set the dial to "phono," the needle sounded like it was live, but the table wouldn't rotate. I was really disappointed about it, and then read some reviews and found that it was a common problem for Crosley products. Super lame.
So, all in all it's a really pretty piece of crap.
