I have gotta say, I wasn't sure how I felt about this until it was all set up and in use. First off the radio is wonderful to have as when I'm cleaning the house or home with my kiddos we love to crank up the volume and just belt songs as loud as we can! Great stress reliever. This has such a fun look to it and really reminds me of something my dad had in the late 80s early 90s. Played my records clean and clearly and no skips or studders.
