Product Description

Amazon.com Product Description
Relive the era of sock hops and soda jerks with this classic Teac '50-style stereo system. The SL-A100R combines a mid-20th-century aesthetic (witness the jukebox-like front panel and three-speed turntable) with modern sound quality, letting you enjoy your favorite LPs time and again. The system also includes an analog AM/FM tuner with a rotary dial and a pair of integrated stereo speakers with chrome highlights. It's the belt-driven turntable that really impresses, however, as it not only looks cool, but plays back 33-1/3 rpm albums, 45 rpm singles, and classic jazz-age 78s--a speed for every taste. It also includes a cover that protects the vinyl during playback.

Though the SL-A100R comes with stereo speakers, listeners can opt instead to connect the system to a separate receiver through the rear RCA audio outputs. Once connected, the turntable and radio can serve as components for a more robust stereo system, letting you expand their audio potential. So whether you need a good tabletop stereo for listening in your basement bar or you're a nostalgia nut that needs a reliable turntable/radio, the SL-A100R's blend of classic and contemporary is an ideal choice. The system measures 15.16 by 7.28 by 15.2 inches (W x H x D) without feet.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Product, Shifty Seller, December 26, 2006

By	O. Roe - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This turntable is an EXCELLENT buy for the money; its robust integrated speakers will easily fill a small room. Its analog dial is smooth, the fit and finish is top-notch, and the warm glow of the backlight is a really nice touch. It's got am/fm radio and phono, and line out jacks so you can integrate it with your home stereo setup.

A WORD OF WARNING: I purchased this from the seller "alectrics" aka "dakmart," and when I got the invoice I found in tiiiiny print:

"Your Dakmart order includes a 1-year (54 issue) subscription to TV Guide. There are no obligations and no hidden charges. Your credit card will not be Shared with the publisher. The cost of your subscription is included in your order. - TV Guide is now Full-Size, Full-Color, for people who are passionate about their favorite shows, characters, and stars. Plus, an easier-to-use national listings section with more highlights and reviews. - If you decide that you do not want your 1-Year subscription to TV Guide simply send a copy of this page and your order confirmation number within 30 days of placing your order to ValueMags at the address below and you will be refunded $15.00. US Households only. One per household."

Aside from the horrible capitalization/grammar, that basically means that my information was farmed out to a 3rd party (ValueMags) without my consent and I *WAS* charged $15.00 (otherwise why would they REFUND it?) for something I didn't order. This is the sort of borderline-legal fancy footwork that gives online commerce its shady reputation. Despite this annoyance, the transaction went as well as planned and the product is honestly excellent.
