Realizing he could sell more radios by providing quality entertainment, Crosley developed WLW the world's most powerful radio station. It's rumored that the station could be heard at times as far away as Australia. Crosley's station broadcast a gamut of programming but reached its 500,000-watt peak in 1932 when President Franklin D. Roosevelt first flipped the gold plated switch from the White House to transmit his Fireside Chats. At that time, the impressive Turntable Console was a common fixture in homes nationwide. As American as baseball and root beer floats, this furniture styled piece was as functional as it was fabulous. Grand in appearance, and handsome in design the turntable Console is handcrafted of solid hardwoods and veneers and is the last full size console inspired by an industry giant. This renowned design is true to tradition with an AM/FM radio and three speed turntable discreetly hidden under the hinge top lid.

User Comments about the Crosley Turntable Console - Oak (CR44-OA)

The speakers are also throughly mediocre sounding for such a large system. The turntable plays 33 1/3 12-15% faster than it should on my model. All and all, a rather dissatisfying performance.
The receiver pulls in lots of radio stations from all over the country and I even picked up a station in Beijing China near 540 Kilocycles (Kilohertz). When twilight arrives the stations come out like millions of stars on a summer's night. Listening to this radio is like going back to Grandma's house and waiting on Sunday dinner as Big Band tunes fill the room.The performance of this radio is something to experience on a Friday night with friends, grandma and the family dog. Both the AM and FM bands are very sensitive and pull in lots of stations day or night and the turntable does a great job of playing the old stack of records.I would recommend this radio console to anyone who likes good music.It can easily help set the mood for a romantic evening or a gathering of friends over for a good time.Break out the refreshments.
