Crosley Entertainment Center
Crosley Turntable, CD Player, Cassette Player and Radio Combination
The Crosley Entertainment Center is a very compact unit that plays vinyl records, cassettes, cd’s and it even has a radio with an AM/FM tuner. Several years ago, my husband gave me a Crosley Entertainment Center for Christmas. Simply stated, I love my Crosley Entertainment Center! I can easily say it is one of my favorite Christmas gifts that I have ever received.
The record player from my youth still works, but it is a huge, heavy unit and truly not very attractive with my current day home decor. Since the Crosley Entertainment Center is compact, I can easily set it on a shelf in my den and listen to my music anytime. Plus, it is a pretty decorative piece even when it is turned off.
I love music. It has been a huge part of my life for as long as I can remember, so yes, this excites me even now! I can listen to my original Peter, Paul & Mary and Barry Manilow vinyl records or switch to my current day “Within Temptation” or “Breaking Benjamin” cd’s. For the eras of music between, I can slip in an Elvis cassette. Don’t laugh, but I still have my first cassette that I ever purchased. It was an Elvis cassette that I purchased in a gas station while traveling.
Yes, giving me a way to listen to all of my favorite music from their originally recorded media, was truly a fabulous Christmas gift!
Crosley CR704C Musician 3 Speed Turntable Audio System
This is an upgraded version of my unit. It play speeds 3 Speeds – 33 1/3, 45 And 78 RPM Records. It has an analog AM/FM radio, which I especially love when we listen to Christmas carols. It also has a programmable cd player, but my favorite part, it plays cassettes!
This particular unit is portable audio ready so you can simply plug in your portable audio device or MP3 player.
Either of these units has an old style appearance and appeal, but all have the modern day audio conveniences.
Crosley Jukebox Console with CD Player, AM/FM Tuner and Bluetooth Receiver
I wanted the compact unit that would sit on a shelf in my den. However, a console unit is also available.
This would be a lovely addition and a fun piece of nostalgia and furniture in any room of your home.
Crosley Director CD Recorder
Crosley Director CD Recorder – CherryCheck Price
This unit allows you to record your vinyls or cassettes on CD. This would also be an awesome upgrade from the basic unit that I have in my den and would most likely be my personal choice if I were making the selection today.
Many of us would like to record the music from our original records and cassettes to a CD so we would be able to listen to the music in our cars, on our computers, or on other cd players.
While I will most likely never be ready to retire my vinyls completely, I would like to be able to transferred the music from them to cd’s which are simply more portable.
