Amazon.com Product Description
Crosley Radio's Collegiate Stack-o-Matic record changer offers a fresh spin on an old-time favorite. Reminiscent of stackable '60s-era turntables, the Collegiate Stack-o-Matic stores up to six full-size LPs or 45s at once and automatically plays them in sequence. When one record finishes, the turntable's fully automatic changer reaches across the stack and gracefully drops the next album on the platter. The mechanism recalls the days of sock hops and sleepovers, when stackable record changers served as cool currency for all-night rock 'n' roll sessions. The classic design is faithfully re-created all the way down to the supple oak grain finish, black accents, and mesh chrome grillwork. p Users with diverse album collections will appreciate the Stack-o-Matic's support for 7-, 10-, and 12-inch records and its three playing speeds (33-1/3, 45, and 78 rpm). Meanwhile, the adjustable tone control gives listeners plenty of audio flexibility. The Collegiate Stack-o-Matic also boasts such features as a belt-drive motor, an automatic tone arm, a diamond-stylus needle, and a pair of dynamic full-range stereo speakers built into the case. And at 17.75 by 7.75 by 15 inches (W x H x D) when closed, the turntable fits easily in most entertainment cabinets or atop more modern components. p The Stack-o-Matic weighs 20 pounds and is backed by a 90-day warranty. p bWhat's in the Box/bbr Turntable, diamond-stylus needle, six 45 spindle adapters, user's manual.

 Back to the '60's! June 27, 2008

I recently purchased the CR85 Collegiate to play some old 45s and LPs that had been gathering dust in my basement. I originally had some concerns because the Crosley turntable products I had seen in stores appeared to be poorly constructed with cheap parts. I was pleasantly surprised when the unit arrived because the cabinet is reasonably well constructed, and the quality of turntable unit itself is good considering the price. br / br /After setting up the unit, I stacked some 45s (using the supplied plastic adapters - which are red and designed a bit differently than the yellow ones I remember) and started playing. The changer works as advertised, just like the one I had when I was a kid. My own kids had never seen anything like it and were absolutely fascinated. br / br /The sound is definitely lo-fi, It was loud enough, but it reminded me of listening to AM radio back in the '60s. The treble is somewhat muted, even with the tone control turned all the way up (by the way, the tone control functions exactly like these sorts of controls functioned on equipment back in the day - they cut treble but do not increase bass). The unit has two stereo speakers, but they are so close together that you might as well be listening to mono. All this may be part of the fun, it recreates the music listening experience I had as a kid back in the 60's and early '70s, and certainly will provide some nostalgia for baby boomers. On the other hand, I do think Crosley could have supplied somewhat better speakers and given the user more flexibility in adjusting the sound. br / br /All in all, though, so far I am pleased with my purchase.

We are enjoying vinly records, all sizes, which had been stored in boxes many years. The reason we purchased this unit was the stackable feature so we can play more than one record without physically going to unit. We wish it had outlets for jacks to take sound to speakers in house/porch. Also, we should have pursued a different finish on cabinet, but this is a minor objection. We love hearing the old Beatle 45s.

I ordered this item for my mother (she's 80 years young) so she could play her albums. She loves it. I had to send the first order back because the speaker system was bad, but return process went very well (didn't cost me to return it) and received a replacement pronto. Thanks Amazon. br / br /Jane

or actually just what my wife wanted........ I personally would feel better if I NEVER had to deal with a record again, but my wife feels attached to them. With this turntable she can play all of her old records,and her mother's old records, and her grandmother's old 78s. Plus, when she gets tired of playing them, it can be closed up and stored out of the way. br / br /All in all, the unit is well constructed, good looking, and quite portable............ it sounds good, too!

Just what I wanted -- something low-tech that would play old childhood 45's, 78's and lps. Does a nice job.
