Product Description
Crosley Radio reintroduces the Original Record Changer. This classic spin on an old time favorite takes you back to the days when listening to records was as easy as stacking them tall and walking away. With The Traveler, your music went where you went. This portable player ensured that the Friday night sleepover at Susie's was sure to be a gas because you'd rock and roll to your favorite tunes until the sun came up. And by the end of the 1960's, the oh-so-memorable record changer was basically a staple in every American household. Crosley's Stack-O-Matic Technology ensures you'll once again be able to enjoy your favorite hits uninterrupted, one after another. With a fully automatic swinging motion, the arm reaches the stack and marvelously drops your next favorite album gracefully on the platter. Exclusively from Crosley Radio, Stack-O-Matic Technology is sure to amaze you with this new twist on an old favorite.
Amazon.com Product Description
Crosley Radio's Traveler Stack-o-Matic record changer offers a fresh spin on an old-time favorite. Reminiscent of stackable '60s-era portable turntables, the 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. Even better, the turntable is not only a gas to watch, but is completely portable thanks to the integrated housing that folds up like a suitcase. 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 Traveler 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 19.5 by 8 by 14.25 inches (W x H x D) when closed, the turntable stores easily in a closet or other out-of-the-way location. The Stack-o-Matic, which comes in a classic brown/tweed color, weighs 18.5 pounds and is backed by a 90-day warranty. What's in the Box
Turntable, diamond-stylus needle, six 45 spindle adapters, user's manual.

 decent, but... October 23, 2008
Cameron Kroeger (Augusta, GA United States)
just got this in the mail today, and i'm more or less happy with it. the main complaints seem to be a) lack of separated speakers, which doesn't bother me, and b) low-quality speakers, which, as a non-audiophile, whatever they used works fine for me. sound is a bit muffled, but i imagine that comes from the speakers being in a small, compact cabinet.
the one INEXCUSABLE absence, however, is the lack of outputs. so you can never wire this to your home stereo or listen through the solitary of headphones. maybe this option wasn't found in the stack players of the 50's and 60's, but these days it is a must.
Very Good Replica & Sounds Better Than The Original October 19, 2007

I'm very pleased with the Crosley Stack-O-Matic. It's an excellent replica of the original except that I believe it sounds better. The stacking feature works flawlessly and the portability is a real plus. Competititve price with immediate shipping. Very satisfied.

It makes old records sound good again. It has a precise auto-change mechanism, a default spindle setup for our small centre holes, and the sound quality from the speakers with a Tone only dial, is similar to listening to a mono radio. It's all good when playing our old records (45s that are 45 years old) because modern sound systems exaggerate the faults as in hiss, crackle and pops. Children are discovering the slower pace while watching the records drop and listening to songs that tell stories with lyrics that make sense. The reason for only 4 stars is because the styli are not sold to countries outside of the States. I am having to get them delivered to a friend first before being forwarded to me in New Zealand. I am going to pursue this with the NZ supplier.
It's so nice to get the records out again and turn the T.V. off for the evening.

We bought a different turntable for my 86 year old Mom and you had to pick up the arm and set it on the record. Well, my Mom is going blind and it was hard for me to do it much less Mom. We returned the "All-in-one player" and bought this model. It was just like we remembered when we were kids. Mom can stack the albums, yes I said albums, put the holding arm over them, and turn it on. It is so easy for her to use and the sound is just great. Mom can enjoy her music again and not have to figure out some new-fangled-contraption. Thank you Crosley for giving my Mom back her tunes.

I was worried about the sound quality on one of these portable record players but this one is great. I'm really happy with it. It looks really cool - great design. The stackomatic feature is nice, it automatically drops and plays your records. It even will repeat the same record over and over and over which is nice while cleaning your house etc, etc. With all my music on my computer, and no need for a home stereo anymore, this was a great way to keep my records around while getting rid of the big ugly and bulky stereo system.
