Crosley C62 Review & Unboxing! 

I just bought this as I got a really good deal of 25% off and I would love a more instructional video if that was possible. Really enjoyed this review and it was the thing that pushed me to buy it. It’s my first record player and I’m very excited to get into this hobby!

Back in the early eighties my mother was friends with the jukebox man and he always gave her the old records when he changed them out. Wish I still had that collection!

I really appreciate your videos and positivity! When I first discovered your channel, I couldn't believe that there could be anyone this positive on RU-vid. You truly have one of the best vinyl channels on RU-vid!

good that this one has a speed selector switch on it instead of having to change the speed by moving the belt manually

I just bought the new version today and they added the anti-skating to it. Also, I really appreciate the assembly information because I got a little lost 😅

"I know you guys dont think I have any knowledge of audio what's so ever based on this show" lol that was very funny, you are great. And in terms of the unpacking sounds, I have always loved those sounds for some reason in these type of videos.

Love watching your reviews and keep the guidance and schooling coming. It’s been 30 years since I owned a record player and I want to get back in to it. Just haven’t pulled the trigger on a player yet. I’m thinking the C8. Based on your review of that player I like that one best. Cheers.

nice review on this unit, seems to be of ok quality in sound, i like the clean and simple modern design, like the look of the wood as well, thanks for sharing again, take care

Love the instructional parts thank you so much! Watching after buying one and having trouble setting it up 😂

Great video closing! I love your channel! This is a nice unit. Well built. The anti skate issue may be a deal breaker for picky buyers. The average user will not notice it. This is a very attractive alternative to use right out of the box. Thanks again! I enjoyed it!!

This was a huge help! Thank you for this video :))

You’re a cool dude and I’m glad that you’re pumping out content. I love videos like these about turntables

I love seeing your videos of big hefty turntables like this one, the c100, c200, etc.! I hope to get my hands on one of them this year :) greetings from Mexico! Take care!

Easiest way to open boxes like this: Set it on its side. Cut open the BOTTOM. Fold the flaps away (the one on the table, fold it under.) HOLDING THE CONTENTS IN, turn the box right side up. Grab two of the flaps (opposite sides) and lift. It will slide right out, right side up. Many, MANY years of building custom PCs taught me this. Bonus: After it's out of the box, you can cut the top open and fold the box flat for easy storage or easy disposal. Also, the outside pull of the tone arm is probably factory pre-set to counteract the tendency to pull INWARD on a rotating disk. Similar to the way the LP60's tracking is factory preset.

Still to this day You're video "It's All Junk" is You're Masterpiece! I have that video bookmarked and every once and a while I'll watch it and it makes me laugh so much EVERYTIME till the tears come to my eyes. It's that funny! Totally Ingenious!!!....Think I'll go watch it NOW!!! Later on Mr. Record Ology Dude Man!!

I really look forward to your videos and I always like the Chet Atkins records you spin.

Randomly saw this player at Walmart and stumbled upon your channel when checking for reviews. Really great video, loved your explanations and chill vibe. Keep up the great work.

Great video really helped make my decision. I think this might be my first turntable for starting out.

I love this channel especially because you arent a debbie-downer stereo snob like every other channel. The rest think they automatically have to demean every brand like this. Why? They arent claiming to be $2000 rigs, but most ppl dont want/need/afford them. For most peoples needs and enjoynent something like this more than fills the bill. You are realistic and relatable to watch, and damn entertaining and informative. Your enthusiasm especially during "unboxing" is positively infectious. Your audio channel stands out and is refreshing! And no drama 👌

just picked up one of these from a store today and mine came with a small anti-skate adjustor knob near the base of the tone arm, seems like crosley is listening to their customers!

Ahhh a few seconds of Lady Gaga - Poker Face.... I know what I'm singing for the rest of the day 🤣 great review and walking out the door to nab 2 of these this morning for $220

Great review man, very informative! 👌

It would be great if they have an affordable one in this style with 78, and a flip cartridge. Love your review videos, it's good that you're thorough on the details.

Hey Record-ology Dude Man! I'm sorry that I haven't visited your site in quite a while. My Dad passed back in December (2020) and I have been distracted by other personal bits and pieces of life BUT I'm really glad you did this video because I usually don't like Crosley anything. I was visiting my second home, a Record Store I have been going to since 1991, and they sell Crosley Product and I have been wanting to get something to play records in my "Man Cave" and this beauty caught my eye and I was all but just about to grab one and bring on home with me. It was priced at about $200 and I was impressed by everything I seen on the box. This video may have pushed me into an area of uncharted origin known as Crosley. I really like it a lot. I am considering going back to the Record Store and grab one! I am sorry but I NEVER thought I would EVER consider a Crosley product. This video my have done it! I'm sure I speak for all you're subscribers when I say WE are glad your still on RU-vid and You are always a nutty kind of host but We love you're Record Ology Channel!.......Please don't Go away!!

Hey I appreciate the little tutorial sound test! I wanted to set it up before Christmas. Me and my gf are moving in soon so I wanted a little house warming gift that we can turn into a hobby. Starting off small but this video just made our Christmas! Thx

I love to see unboxing stuff thanx

I used to have a huge vinyl collection and a great hi-fi system. I sold everything off about a year ago with the exception of some of my most treasured LPs. I'm seriously considering picking something like this up just to play the LPs I still own.

The fact that it's pulling towards the rest means there is anti-skate applied. You would need to test on a test record or acrylic platter mat to see if there's enough or too little. My instinct tells me they adjusted it for this particular cartridge at the factory. But I agree it would be better to have an anti-skate adjustment.

I was thinking the other day it's been thirty years since I played an actual record. I wan't to get that feeling I had then back again. In those days the aim was to replicate the original sound as faithfully as your budget would allow. Choosing the amp, turntable, cartridge and speakers was great fun. We'd compare our hifi system with our mates, it was a great subject for lengthy discussion down the pub. I miss all that. I was tempted to buy one of these Crosley systems but seeing it has no anti-skate and the speakers could be better, I'll hold off a bit and buy a separate turntable and good active speakers. Many thanks for these videos, it is like being in the room with you and having that excitement of opening a new box of goodies.

I really like this turntable and speakers, I picked it up recently for $37.50 on clearance at my local Wal-Mart store. It was easy to set up and sounds very nice in my 12x12 bedroom. The lack of anti skate is a little worrisome when setting up but plays just fine 🙂

Thanks man

I liked that. And it's the type that reminds me of 1970s record players. I would have liked it back then too.

I wish it was possible to buy only the speakers cause they look soooo good

Thank you for making these review videos. I'll be living in a studio apartment when I'm back to school in September and I am looking into getting my own record player stereo. Could you review the Boytone BT-24MB or the BT-28MB?.

Looks very nice

Great video!! One question do you think this is a suitable replace and/or upgrade from an LP60, loved it but it started playing my records a little bit quicker than supposed to.

I think it"s made by Pro-ject. In Germany, it is also sold at Amazon under the brand name 1 BY ONE. T%hat has the same arm but with an anti-skate with counterweight. It seems to miss here.

great video

Does the arm automatically return back to its base or is this one you’ll have to manually move back when the record is done playing?

Yay! You found it! I told you on a comment on your C8 review about this turntable. I could only identify the lady Gaga song and Olivia Newton John Physical. Great video, why do you recommend using the built in pre amo vs the Phono on your Reciever pre amp??

Speakers sound great, I recognized Lady Gaga and the song Physical but the singer slips my mind. Great content as always

Nice unit. Very sleek,and well built. But I had expected a balance control,with Bass and Treble controls. This unit badly needs these. Although there's no rumble due to belt drive,clicks and scratches were present. In our country, Crosley is not available.🤔😞

this a very good looking system I love the speakers they look like they can produce good sounds I was wondering about the anti-skate this turntable looks like it has the audio technica cartridge you have seen on the ATLLP-60 I know it does not have a antiskate setting but I've heard it is set at the factory and I saw a video of it being tested with a video disc ,it did not move to center it stayed were it was placed perhaps they to set it for this cartridge ,I cannot believe they would make this nice great looking TT and not have it set with anti-skating just curious I 'm sure you could find out JRo

The c6 also doesn't have the antiskate. But the price is worth it...might be able to rig up my own anti skate.thanks always enjoy your vids

The surround of that woofer is very thick and it sticks out. That's certainly a good thing. It means the woofer driver has a long excursion, so it can produce deeper bass 💪 6:16 you might want to consider inserting some subtitles to translate the pounds to kg, so people don't need to pause the video and do a google on 5 pounds. 14:46 "Welcome to the family!" - Don Corleone 😆

Do you plan on reviewing the C62B version of the turntable? Apparently it includes an anti-skate system but I want to know if the sound quality is different somehow

Good to see the speakers use standard terminals and not some proprietary connection. Audio-Technica cartridge is nice. Too bad it doesn't have anti-skate.

I absolutely love it and just got the new model with the Anti skate. The Bluetooth works brilliantly. Through the speakers. However, despite my set up with the balance and counterweight etc, there is no sound through the speakers when playing vinyl, and no Troubleshooting covers this issue that I can find. Everything appears plugged in well and Line is selected rather than Phono. Any suggestions??

The c62-b added the anti skate. Did you happen to review that? I am looking into my first entry level turn table. With that said I am not a stranger to audio, I consider myself a “audiophile” and have been into home theater and mobile audio professional for years. So I tend to jump past entry level. I am currently looking at the Crosley c8, c100bt, c62-b, and of course Audio-Technica at-lp 120xusb. Each of these have different options and offer different features. I have watched all your reviews on the above turntables of my selections what would you personally go with?

The issue with the tone arm is serious.. I 'had that problem a few times in the past. Adding more needle pressure was a temporary solution with, as you know, high consequences on your needle and cartridge. Any deeper scratch or excessive dirt or dust will cause skipping. I promise! I would send it back or ask how to fix the problem. However it is beautiful and really has a reasonableness price! Do you think this should have it'own base and treble controls? Did the sound have a flat response? Also your wife is a saint to let you abuse her granite! Love the God is Good sign! Keep safe!

Thanks tbis helped

I'm thinking of buying this turntable for my dad (father's day) and it really helped me choose (spoiler: I'll surely end up buying this one if it gets back in stock). Thanks so much for the sound test and the setting up! It will surely help me be more confident in setting the turntable for my dad :)

Looks good

could your please do a 2 years later on this turn table? i'am intrested in buying one.

The Second song is Lady Gaga - Pokerface & The Forth Song is Olivia Newton-John - Let's Get Physical

Except for not having an anti skate adjustment, it would seem to me that the C62, because of its higher number, would be more top of the line than the C10. I, for one, appreciate the fact that you don’t have to change the position of the belt to change the speed (though I understand that there are those who prefer the hands on experience of moving the belt). I totally agree with you that there should be an anti skate adjustment on this-WHAT was Crosley thinking when they designed this??? All in all, a good starter setup for someone just getting into vinyl, or someone who wants a basic all components together, but not in just one piece, a la the Cruiser. God is good indeed!!! 😀😀😀

I just looked up the user manual and it said the Bluetooth function on this unit acts as a receiver rather than a transmitter, so it will stream the music from your phone or other Bluetooth transmitting device and play it on the speakers connected to this turntable.

Were you able to figure out if anti-skate came adjusted from the factory?

What's the volume and volume control like? When increasing volume from the lowest setting, does it increase gently and slowly or does it just blast out? What's the tracking force?

"Let's get physical" i think is Olivia Newton John.

Thanks for the video. I got a C62 for my birthday. The sound is good but I get the impression that the speed isn’t consistent. Every now and then it sounds irregular. Does anyone have any tips?

I just bought one of these and it has antiskating now. Its the c62c-wa4 model

What’s the recommended tracking force?

I ordered one of these. Left spring clip output terminal crackles when I put the cables in. The speaker and cables itself are fine, the left output is the problem. Any idea how i could resolve this issue?

How do i add cds to one of these set ups. I love cds and vinyls and like it all to be one thing

Always Good to See your vids....Olivia Newton John....OH So much better than an alternative Somebody John....You could have played,and i would have turned off Lol Lol !!! Great video....Was the first Song Sweet Georgia Brown ? Looks to be a very nice table....As you said,shame about the pulling to the left issue,Anti Skate thing...But a good all round set up by the looks of things...Great having its own speakers...Cheers.Ade

I want to buy my first vinyl player in the spring for my birthday. I choose between this player and Lenco ls-300wd. What do you advise?

I was looking for a 2nd system and picked up one of these up with the speakers, brand new and free shipping from Ebay for $125. Just came in a couple hours ago. Been playing all kinds of different stuff from opera to metal, sound great to me. Think I got a hell of a deal for the money. Only issue I had was with the tone arm. Wasnt really giving me an accurate pressure reading on my scale. Think I got it set pretty well though and sounds fine. Probably going to upgrade the cartridge and get new speakers eventually but so far so good.

I'm looking into the C62 for an upgrade from my Crosley Cruiser. It's good to know that the speakers are a decent quality. I'm also curious - have you had any experience hooking up turntables to a 2.1 computer-style speaker system? the piece of furniture that I'm wanting to place it on may be a few inches short for the width of the table + speakers and I have a spare set of computer speakers + subwoofer that would fit much easier on there. just not sure how the quality might be affected. thanks!

How big is the platter? I bought a custom slip mat and if I buy a new record player I wanna make sure it will fit

Hi there, I just got one - all you say is true. But there is a little problem: I can hear the speed is not stable. Do you have any idea what can cause this and how to fix it?

Does this player have an auto stop feature? I’m having an issue with records stopping early on both sides

i just got this as a gift and the speakers work when i connect bluetooth to my phone but when i try to play a record with the speakers there’s no sound (well there’s faint sound coming from the record player itself but nothing from the speakers.) do you know what would possibly be the problem?

Two questions: 1) does the stylus on this wear down the records as quickly as the suitcase crosley’s are supposed to? 2) can you play music from your phone through the speakers via Bluetooth? Thanks!

Sweet Georgia Brown - Chet Atkins was the first track I also know the physical track by Olivia newton John

The platter certainly looks like a Pro-Ject, the belt key is identical to the Pro-Ject one and the arm also looks like pure Pro-Ject. However the counter weight doesn't, it looks cheaper than the ones found in any Pro-Ject. I wonder if they make some parts for OEMs only and don't put them in their own decks? I know Crossley have sold Proj-Ject based decks in the past. Certainly an interesting piece of equipment.

Is the anti-skate adjustment something that can be added with another part or is it something that's just included or not? If not, do you think its worth the added price of the C10? I love that its an all-in-one solution for beginners which is what I'm looking for, especially since it sounds like the speakers are worth it in your eyes. I'm just wondering if not having that mechanism would be super harmful to the records over time and render them useless for when I could upgrade the whole system? Thanks for the review and letting us hear it in action!

Just got this model but the right speaker output is just static - I tried switching the wires, still not working. Any thoughts or guidance - Crowley customer support not helpful. Thanks!

11:38 how do you add the grams to the tone arm? The documents say 3.5 g, but the weight only goes to 1.75

I def appreciated the instructions!!!!1 What does the adapter do?

I just received this record player and speakers for Christmas and as a novice I’m very excited to use it! I was just wondering if you know what the plastic key piece is for? The manual isn’t very clear on what it is. Thanks so much!

Have you reviewed the LP&no1 ribbon bluetooth turntable? The one with the two speakers?

I got the new one with the anti skate now… but some if not most of my records loops and repeats? Does anyone know why? I followed pretty much everything to balance tone arm right? Set from 2-3.5 to 4 grams on the counterweight and nothing works… instead of putting antiskate to same as weight, i just put it at 0 and some of the records emproved… but not all… can anyone help?

I think this would be much better then the suitcase models Crosley makes

I just got a new one. Can’t figure out how to turn it on …lol

I just bought this and it has already stopped spinning. Does anyone know how to fix it? Please help

Hello! Thanks for the video. Did this record player come with the counterweight or did you provide it yourself? Just opened mine and it is missing, thank you for your input!

Looks like a project arm they have anti skate with a little weight with a string on it, look it up.

I just bought this and all my vinyls sound high pitch and it occasionally skips

Once you balance the counterweight, how much do you turn it? In other words, how much pressure should it play records with?

Have you reviewed the Rega Planar Turntable series? :)

Hello from Louisiana! I have a small collection of vinyl that is steadily growing, and am planning to get a "roughly" $200 turntable. I would love to get the full TT+Speakers package, but I was curious if there is a way to adjust the pitch via the motor like on some other tables in this price range. I know it does not have a pitch control knob on top, but I would not mind the extra work of tweaking it from below if it's possible to do so. When you have time, please let me know if this is possible or not. Thank you so much for the wonderful content on your channel. @Record-ology

Youll never think about a crosley record player again after owning a concept 2QD

I just bought this exact turntable, but my speakers don’t play anything even though they’re hooked up. Can anyone help?

Hello, can you show how to set the counter weight on this player?

Looks like a really decent system! It's unfortunate they give you a counterweight 'n stuff, but they don't give you a user adjustable Anti-skate? What gives, Crosely?! I'm sure if you opened it up, there is a way to adjust the anti-skate in some way shape or form.

Hey Mr. Record Ology Dude Man!! How goes it?? Thanks for "Loving my comment" about how good God Is! I saw the sign on your counter in the back round! Clever!...Very clever indeed!!! BUT GUESS WHAT??????? This video was so-o-o-o--o-o-o convincing that I went out yesterday and bought me a C62! I NEVER in my life thought I would buy CROSLEY ANYTHING but this all looked too appealing. Now understand that I am an "Audiophile" and my main 2-channel Audio System wears a price tag of $10,000-up but I bought the C62 because I am making a kind of nostalgic/hobby room in my home. (I call it my "Micro-Man-Cave) but everyone is allowed to visit! Anyway, I have some older records I've collected over the years that are a little beat plus my Dad died last December and left me his 400+ 45rpm records mainly from the 1950's to 1980's so I wanted to dedicate a little area for him in this room as well and I know he would have liked the C62! I myself have been seriously collecting vinyl records since 1978. I have at least 8,000+ LP's and at least 2,000+ 45rpm records that I am very passionate about. These records of course are in much better shape BUT back to the C62. I haven't had the chance to check it out yet. BUT I'll send you an update comment as soon as I get it all rollin'! God Bless You Mr. Record Ology Dude Man!!!............Keep making these awesome videos!!!

Hello, I love the video! I just bought this turntable and I played a new album on it and it played perfectly, but when I put on an older album it played too fast even though it was on the right setting. Kind of sounded like a munchkin with singing lol. Is there a certain adjustment I can make or is this because it's an album from the 80s? Like I said the new album I bought was iron maiden and it played perfectly. Any help or ideas would be appreciated, thank you 😏

cuh-cuh-cuh-crosley!

Great &Cool Nice Presentation Thanks. Is It avialable In INDIA?
