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.

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.

Great product February 6, 2007

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.
Get Your Old Vinyl Out And Enjoy March 4, 2006

As the owner of a Zenith Cobramatic HF11 that stacks up to 16 45's and LP's, the Stack o Matic is a wonderful and new look on a old perspective of listening to music, the way records used to be listened to. They are attractive players, with good sound, and with the automatic record changer, makes listening to your old recordings a pleasure. The sound quality of the Stack o Matic is very similar to the Decca Record Players of the late 50's and early 60's, with just volume and tone. The sound on the Traveler, to me, is better than the Varsity and Collegiate models, seems to have a tad of bass at times once you're used to it. There are two speakers together on the side of the player, and do have true stereo separation (play the stereo version of "Reflections" by The Supremes and sit close, the intro has a great seperation of sound sequence) but at a short distance, the sound appears to blend and is more like mono, kinda cool cause mono sound was the only way to hear them at that time. Using the enclosed red record adapters are a chore, and there are 45 spindle adapters, capable of holding 6 to 7 45's available. I do not recommend the stack mate adapter that is sold directly through crosley, because, at times, certain 45 rpms get stuck on the adapter and do not drop all the way because the hole on the record is a tad smaller. The record either drops and sticks halfway, causing the tone arm to bump against it and land on the turntable. Or the record drops to the turntable, but does not turn because the adapter is too thick causing the turntable to scratch the flip side of the record. Trying the same records on another adapters, such as a BSR work fine. Crosley should remodify their stackmate, and make it a micro tad smaller in width so that all records should drop normally. A drawback is that when the changer shuts itself off, it does not turn off the amplifier and you have to turn it off with the volume switch manually. The changer works fine and is effortless, needle replacement is easy. Maybe one day Crosley in the future would offer seperate bass/treble adjustments to enrich the sound further, like the Zenith Cobramatic of the 60's. Crosley should have also provided carrying handles on their Varsity Models, which many suitcase record players had. All and all, the Stack O Matic is a very good record player. The Traveler is attractive, and with the carrying handle, is great to take to parties and gatherings. You will get a lot of compliments on it. When the record changer cycles it's last record, it locks the tone arm onto the holder, good for traveling. Also a good tip is to screw the changer back into storage position (screws up) when transporting to avoid vibration on the springs, you can do it by hand, and just unscrew back when ready to play.
