here is a review after owning this product several years..........2007-06-08

One thing I've noticed about product reviews is that most are written immediately after the item is purchased. That tells people how something works out of the box, but doesn't really speak to longevity.

I have owned this retro CD player at least three years now (maybe four) so I have a little different perspective. Out of the box I would have rated this a 5 out of 5. It looks wonderful and is very heavily made; not at all a cheap veneer-over-plastic affair. I was astounded by the beautiful sound quality -- much better than I would have expected from a radio that appears largely ornamental.

So why only four stars, three years out? Well, there seems to be a problem with the push-button controls, and I'm willing to bet I am not the only consumer experiencing it. Another review mentioned that the programming features are confusing, and it is easy to push the wrong button when all you want to do is play a song.

Unfortunately that aspect only gets worse with age. I don't know if the push-button controls just wear out after awhile, or if there is dust inside my player that I can't get to easily. What has happened is that the 'play' button (arguably your most important control) only works when it feels like it now. It has never failed to play a CD for me...eventually...but you have to be real patient with it as it ages. Lately, I'll need to tap the play button 4, 5...as many as 6 times before it activites. Striking it harder seems to help it make contact, but it is a frustrating process.

Otherwise a 5/5 product. I can tell you that three or four years out, once I coax it into play mode, it sounds as great as it did fresh out of the box. And still looks soooo cool!

Uh, Cool product...while remodeling the family room; wanted something that fit the retro look and all I could find is the ordinary boom boxes that resembled something out of a science fiction movie and happened to locate this one that works fine and fits the room perfectly!

This item has much better quality sound than some bigger cd players that I have had. It has a beautiful vintage style and fits in a small space. The only small problem I have is the cd buttons are hard to read in dim light but that won't be a problem when I learn them.

Beautiful retro radio at a great price !.......2007-02-19

I purchased this 1940's styled radio/CD player for a retirement gift for a lady who had worked 44 years as a school cook. She loves anything World War II era. I wanted one for myself when it arrived, and every staff member fell in love with it,too. We used it during the party to play period music. The retiree was thrilled with it. It's just a beautiful accent piece, and the raised lid to play the CDs reminds you of a phonograph.

This actually is my second radio like this. I had the first one a couple of years and loved it. I even got positive comments about it from visitors to my home. Some people actually thought it was an antique. The sound is good. Due to a recent power surge that occurred during a recent power outage (my husband hooked our home up to a generator at the wrong setting -- but I won't get into that!) -- my first radio got fried. I wanted another one just like it very bad, but had difficulty finding it. There were similar ones at a much higher price and with features I felt I didn't at the spot in my home I was using it. I'm giving it four stars instead of five because one, the programming of the CD is a little difficult. I've had to write out some cheat notes from the manual with the function of each of the buttons to avoid accidently pushing program, or repeat rather than play. Another negative I can say about it is that unlike when using FM, FM stereo, or AM, when the knob in front is turned to the CD function, the light in the dial is not on and it looks as though the unit is off. The only way to know for sure if it is on is to flip the lid up and look to see if the red numbers are on displaying the tracks of the CD. This incidently is the reason my first radio got fried. Besides not having it attached to a surge protector (like I do now), the unit was left on after playing a CD the night before, and no one realized it until it was too late. The unit turns on and off by turning the volume dial.
