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 reaching 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.
As awesome as it looks!

Comments about Crosley CR44 AM/FM Nostalgia Turntable Console (Oak):
My wife desperately wanted a record player for Christmas, as she has a large collection of Vinyl. Without having much guidance in terms of what she was looking for in terms of style, it was up to me to pick out the unit. This Crosley turned out to be the perfect choice! She loves it, and hasn't stopped listening to her records since X_Mas day
