Ah.. so that's what it is for... record player for cats. That's genius. Now the kitty will leave the big expensive record player alone. A must have if you need to distract your cat from your real turntable
Im 55 and when I was a little boy my mother had one that looked like a old time handheld cassette recorder like offices used and it played mini lps. It was from the late 60s
Thanks for sharing. The last record store I visited on RSD at about 8pm...had a stack of those things left. Complete novelty! I wouldn’t buy it even if I had money to waste.
The inchaphone the White Stripes had sounded better than that, though in mono. It would be cool if someone (besides Crosley) would make a 45 only mini-turntable.
Maybe something like this: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-tkUqy52NqMA.html and it will play the 3" as well. Too bad the price seems to have gone up since. At $30 I might have been tempted. No way I am paying $70+ for that Crosley that can only plays 3"
Opening that reminded me of a book I bought from Third Man Records called "The Blue Series" and it had a 7 inch single that came with it, but it was on the back page of the book and you had to rip it open to get to the record. They had to know that collector's wouldn't want to tear the back cover open, so either they are evil and forcing you to make a choice to keep it pristine and not open it or rip it open to listen to the single. I'm sure some true collector's bought two copies so that they could listen to the single and still have an undamaged copy. They did include a download code for additional songs.
I was picking up the arm because if you play to much of a song youtube will mute the volume for copyright infringement. I clearly say in the video its a novelty item and not a piece of HiFi year. I would assume people buying a tiny plastic turntable would know that so If someone wants to buy it who cares its there money.
@@TheInGroove Judging by ebay, most of them have ended up on the resale market anyway. Thing is worth about $30 at best. It's complete garbage, like most other Crosley products.
@@TheInGroove I say that's the first i have seen a tiny record player, be a cool novelty doesn't matter who made it it's the size and how they shrunk down the technology to make some thing that small, wonder though how many records were made for these, but either way it's a good conversation piece . if i could find one i would buy one , as people would be amazed that small records and players do exist.
@@Gamemaster365-6 thereafter like 3 at local record shop that have been there since they came out. They are neat. I like them for the novelty and being able to get a small record for 6 bucks would be cool instead of having to drop 25+ for a full size album is kind of cool.
The wow and flutter is probably the result of the record itself being pressed off center. Since it is a "45," I wonder if you could get improved results by removing the 45 adapter and centering it yourself.
They should make these in 7” size With RCA outputs and power cord. Same design but larger scale. That would be more practical! 3” records are a rip off at $30-$50 🤣
I am wowed by the bold greed from the RSD enterprise. There doesn't seem to be a bottom to the barrel scraping. Novelty + suckers = $$$ Enjoy your limited edition, badly pressed novelty records people. It's "warmer" and "the way it's meant to be heard." LMAO The Crosley 3" table has the best siblance, wow and flutter money can buy! I can't wait to get the colored vinyl and picture disks on Black Friday! Maybe they will re-release Pink Floyd's biggest hits on a $600 box of tiny lo-fi records. 1000 numbered copies!
What tracking weight does that thing run at!? You could see it carving its way through the groove as soon as the stylus was put down. What a huge pile of crap.
LOL...We are coming back to the 60's ! I have the entire "Hip-Pocket" collection, they were called.. You got a free record, ( or maybe 2, if you were nice) at the FORD dealers, when you went to look, and take Test Drives of the new Fords.. They gave you the info, and you could send away, for the little Philco record player, which was a little bigger than this version..I have three different models..But I will HAVE to get this for sure ! Seems to be the correct speed, to play my little 3" collection ! It would look cool, to plug into one of my Technics 1200GLD 's .. Thanx for showing this fun, new little gimmick ! ( Does this have a PITCH adjustment???
I wish RSD put their efforts into other stuff like cassettes or more 45s instead of wasting time on these. They’re still making 3” records as of November 2022
Yet again another crappy crosley product there is nothing good about the crosley company of today in the 50's and 60's and maybe 70's they we re great with console radios and jukeboxes the stuff today all in one units are all a joke thank you for showing the latest crosley junk
I remember thinking how bad BSR or Lloyds was in the 1970's. Crossley dropped that bar even further. They make record players for people who think it's cool just to play a record. The sound quality is not a factor. Some one has an old record collection they inherited, they somehow think playing them on any sort of turntable will make it worth playing the records. It's the "they just don't care" market that has expendable income.
Wow. It's cute, I'll give it that. I was kinda hoping it would play real records and not just some little tiny 3 inch single-sided singles. There is a lot of wow and flutter. What a waste of a good cartridge too! Crosley cruisers don't even come with that good of a cartridge.
This is something you sit on your desk and never use. It looks sort of "cute" so Crossley is appealing to a very tiny (tinier than the this player) market that just want something audio related that's cute. Give that money away to a good charity instead if you just have to spend on anything.
Do you see the price there asking for 3” records as much as full vinyl ..insanity and 20 bucks for a --can I even say 45 I’ll pass this up and buy me 4 albums let alone the price of this POS novelty 💯 and up .... hey one born every minute
The crosley of today is giving the great crosley of the 40's , 50's and maybe the early 60' sa very bad name and this company should have the company building burned to the ground
I agree, but some people don't have enough money to buy good Record Players and need to get the Crosley (also because they are easily found in Walmart or Meijer).
Hey Mike, owner of Groove records. I bought one of those mini record players this past weekend Saturday 11/30. Mine was pre opened and is missing the Foo Fighters mini record.
The 'In' Groove I don’t know if mine is new or old unit. But it’s components weren’t in their place. The twist ties were not in place. That’s what gave away the fact that mine has been pre opened. And about the missing Little record, why would the styrofoam packaging have the cut out square for a record, if you’re telling me it doesn’t come with one.
@@val13c59 the new units don't come with the Foo Fighters record. Why would they change the packaging because of one record? I was sent a replacement unit last week, and yes, it still had the mold for a record, but I wasn't expecting the record in there because it didn’t include the "Foo Fighters Big Me 3" record enclosed" sticker. The RSD release for the RSD3 turntable was limited to 5k for the Foo Fighters single, 4k of it was included inside the RSD3 box, and 1k sold separately.
NBALiveGirl ok fine, but my first argument was that it has been preopend. Do to the fact that the twist ties weren’t in place, and plastic had been removed. I’m not concerned about the FooFighters record. I just thought I ask anyways. I don’t even like the foo fighters. I payed extra to have the 4 Epitaph mini record package.
VAL13C oh okay, i just wanted to let you know why the record isn’t there in the first place..but i’m just hoping for more diverse 3” releases next year.
The foolishness of retro-HiFi (read it "vinyl") is groing like mushrooms in the fall. No one would pay one ¢ for this piece of BS, but ASK money for buying it.
