Product Description

Amazon.com Product Description

Crosley Radio founder Powel Crosley was the first U.S. manufacturer to build a production model sports car several decades back, and now the company pays tribute to its founder's grand ambitions with the CR711 Autorama turntable. Housed in a streamlined brushed chrome chassis that looks like the front grill of a classic '50s roadster, the turntable is designed for vintage car fans, retro freaks, and anyone else who wants an alternative to the soulless, high-tech look. The Autorama is no slouch from a playback perspective, either, with a belt-drive motor that plays 33-1/3, 45, and 78 rpm records, giving you access to both full-length LPs and classic singles collections. The device even comes with an analog AM/FM radio that picks up your favorite music and news stations, complemented by a striking illuminated center dial. And thanks to the external FM antenna, you'll receive consistently good reception everywhere in the house.

Best of all, the Autorama is a completely self-contained unit, with a pair of built-in, full-range stereo speakers. The speakers make this a good bedroom, office, or basement "playroom" system, as you don't need anything more than an electrical outlet to enjoy your LPs. As an alternative, you can also connect the turntable to a stereo receiver through the auxiliary output. The CR711 Autorama measures 13.5 by 6.75 by 14 inches (W x H x D) and is backed by a 90-day warranty.

What's in the Box
Turntable, 45 spindle adapter, diamond-stylus needle, user's manual.

Product Description

The AutoRama represents a vintage icon mimicking the clean, streamlined styling of a classic 1950's automobile. From the sleek illuminated center dial, to the chrome grill side mounted speakers, this beauty takes you back to the days of drive-ins and diners. Crosley's fascination with automobiles is evident right down to the last exacting detail. The AutoRama features an AM/FM Radio, a 3-speed turntable and enough sophistication to render most enthusiasts speechless.

1.0 out of 5 stars Plastic Junk, January 28, 2004

By	Michael Anderson (Sacramento, CA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Crosley CR711 Autorama Turntable with AM/FM Radio, Red (Electronics)

The Turntable on this unit is very cheap and is made of very lightweight plastic. This causes the turntable to be weighed down when you place a record on it, which in turn causes the record to rub against the edges of the unit... resulting in a warped sound output. If you want to spend 150.00 on a old fashion looking radio, go right ahead. But if you want to spin LP records without them sounding warped, don't waste your time and money. Looks cool, sounds and performs lousy.

1.0 out of 5 stars A Real Disappointment!, August 8, 2006

By	Glenda K. Petz (Okeechobee, FL USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: Crosley CR711 Autorama Turntable with AM/FM Radio, Red (Electronics)

I had been shopping around for a record player for a long time and finally settled on the Crosley CR711 retro, red in color. I went with Crosley because I know it was a name I could trust. I was so excited when I received my record player...that is, until I put the first record on. The music sounded like the record was warped, although I knew it wasn't. I kept trying different records, still the same quality. To make a long story short, after multiple e-mails and phone calls, Crosley agreed to have the record player returned to them for repair at their expense. Again, another disappointment. That was two weeks ago. I had to pay for the shipping, I still have not received my record player, and when I sent another e-mail, I was told a part had to be ordered and the record player was still under repair. The whole experience - VERY disappointing! It's not like I can cough up another $130.00 for a record player!!!

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Record Player and a great prices, September 12, 2006

By	J. Coulter (Clarksville, IN) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: Crosley CR711 Autorama Turntable with AM/FM Radio, Black (Electronics)

I bought this for my fiance just recently. After looking over all the record players i could find i went for this one for 2 reasons. It had the aux. outputs to run to a stereo system and it was the best priced system with that feature.
The radio looks great we love the old looking display and love the sound that coems form our record collection.
If you are looking for a record with the above features for a great value, this is the one for you!
