Crosley Portable Record Turntable Player

One of the coolest portable turntables you’ll ever find – based on a sweet 70s design, but nicely updated for the 21st Century! The unique unit features kind of a sandwich design – grabbing the record on the spindle, with a tonearm that comes from the side, and moves towards the middle – which is where it ends up when you pack the whole thing up for easy carrying! Speeds are 45 and 33rpm – and, oddly, the turntable can also broadcast wirelessly to two different FM frequencies – so that you can spin records on the player, then hear the music back over a radio! And if that’s not enough, there’s also a vinyl digitizer – which lets you digitize your records, putting them on your hard drive, and creating MP3 files with the software included in the package. Comes with an AC adapter – so you can plug it in anywhere – but you can also run the unit with 6AA batteries, too (sold separately, natch!)

Approx 150$
