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 a three speed turntable discreetly hidden under the hinge top lid, yet adds a dose of modern technology with a fully functioning CD player.

User Comments about the Crosley CR44CD Turntable Console with CD Player and AM/FM Tuner

The turntable lacks some sophistication and the analogue tuner isn't as clean as a digital one, but all in all it's more than worth the money. Solid, well-built, great sound. Great addition to my decor' and a good price.
I recommend getting a small crosley turntable if buying new, because for it's size, it sounds relatively nice and full, unlike this dinky waste of space. This model completely misses the point of the console design. I had a Crosley portable turntable that I was pretty happy with that was lost, and I decided to upgrade with this model hoping for a fuller sound. Unfortunately, this is pretty much the guts of the small turntable put into a console body, and due to the pressboard construction (which is terrible for sound amplification) as well as the fact that the only speakers you have are two poor quality 4 inch ones blaring out the sides (probably the same speakers that were in the small turntables) it just sounds way too trebly for what it is. Booo.
