Product Description
The optimum use of a disc record of constant rotational speed occurs when the innermost recorded diameter is half of the outermost recorded diameter. But why worry yourself with the details. The Crosley Portable Suitcase Style Turntable plays all three speeds, 33 1/3, 45 and 75 RPM records. By the late fifties, stereo records reached a peak in the marketplace as hi-fi sound reproduction attained its largest audience to date. The portable turntable was introduced in the late 1950's and provided music lovers with a sense of independence, allowing them to easily cart their record player from one locale to another. The popularity of this unit was due in no small part to its portability, but also to its suitcase-styled finishing touches that became a Crosley hallmark. So whether you choose Ella Fitzgerald or Elvis, celebrate your vinyl in portable style.
Amazon.com Product Description
Enjoy a whole new level of LP independence with the Crosley CR49 Traveler. Inspired by the original portable turntables of the late 1950s, the belt-drive unit is versatile enough to play all three common speeds--33-1/3, 45, and 78 rpm--so you're not restricted to any one part of your vintage record collection. In addition, the table's tan-colored suitcase housing includes a pair of built-in, full-range stereo speakers, in effect turning the Traveler into a LP boombox (though without the battery power). The effortless portability makes this a great turntable for traveling, visiting friends, or simply enjoying albums in the garage, basement, or other secondary rooms. The case is stylish, too, with a vintage appearance that beautifully complements traditional furnishings. The Traveler even comes with an adjustable tone control, adding to its versatility, along with a diamond-stylus needle. So whether your tastes run to classic jazz or modern rock, savor your vinyl in style with the Crosley Traveler. The Traveler measures 17 by 7 by 11 inches (W x H x D) and is backed by a 90-day warranty. What's in the Box
Turntable, diamond-stylus needle, 45 rpm spindle adapter, user's manual.

Documentation incomplete, 2010-06-22
We were about to return the unit because the turntable would not spin. I decided to call the company first because I saw one review that mentioned vague instructions. The help desk immediately had me pull the arm to the right until I heard a pop. This engaged the turn table. To stop the turn table I pulled the arm to the left until the pop. Very easy but was not in my documentation.
case too small to play 33 1/3 records, 2010-01-02
I bougt this as a gift to my parents for christmas-spoke to them today and they were so disappointed because the albums my son gave them as well as there own 33 1/3 records were too big and kept hitting the back of the record case when the record spun around-I don't know why no one else wrote about this but that seems to be the problem with the one I bought. Will return for something else-
Nostalgic, 2010-02-08
I purchased this turntable as a Christmas present for my grandchildren to play some old vinyl records they had found in the attic. I'm sure these records haven't been played for at least 20 years and happily this turntable did not disappoint. The sound was much better than I had anticipated. It has an authentic case and we are all enjoying the connection to our past.
crosley portable record player., 2010-01-24
The record player arrived in timely fashion. It works well, even though it works in an unorthodox way. You gotta be very careful to follow the [somewhat vague] instructions, and, above all, be patient. How would I get a backup needle. No information on that is available.
Plays albums flawlessly, 2010-02-11
I received my record player and when it came out of the box it smelled like a new car! I have been using it for a few weeks now and haven't experienced any problems in playback. One slight issue has developed; the plastic piece that sets the needle onto the record now bumps around. It is bad enough that I cant use it because the needle doesn't come straight down and if I can get it to drop where it should, it jumps over onto the grooves. Nothing I cant handle just using my hand, but I do wish the construction was sturdy enough for that not to have happened. All in all I am very pleased with the player and plan on using it for its full lifetime.
