Great Design, But Flaws.......2006-08-29

The Crosley Sleigh Radio CR-38 is all the good things reviewers say it is, and is sure to get a lot of attention from people who will be convinced it's an original. With a few slight changes, it is indeed a stunningly real looking copy of the 1938 Sparton blue mirror glass and wood cabinet. It has the feel and weight of an original.

I rated this item only three stars because there is one well-publicized problem with the lid lift operation (for access to the compact disk playing area) that plagues this radio, and which I hope the manufacturer is looking into. I have had two radios that failed after about a day, and both failures were due to the lift/lowering action of the lid.

The nature of the problem I was having with both radios was verified by a technical representative of a Crosley distributor. Specifically, in both cases, the problem was caused by a faulty lower cutoff switch, which is improperly designed and positioned and which would not allow the lift motor to turn off after the lid closed. The result was a noisy clicking or clunking sound as the lift gears continued to turn at the end of the track after reaching the bottom of the lid return cycle.

I believe that people along the production and distribution line are now aware of this problem. What they are going to do about it is not known, but they are probably going to have to redesign the switch to fit properly and perform its shutoff function efficiently.

A spokesperson for one of the distributors said that not all switches fail after a few lifts, but are likely prone to failure in the long term. So my advice is, until you see this radio sold with a banner that says, "new and improved" or some such label, I would not invest the money right now. However, if you just want a beautiful piece of Art Deco repro, or are content to just play the radio and look at the sheer beauty of this unit, by all means, give it a try. For that, it would be well worth the price.

A thing of (delicate) beauty .......2006-06-01

This is a wonderful piece of art, and it also sounds great. Radio reception is good - as noted at least as good or better than most car radios - and the sound fidelity is fine. We couldn't be more pleased, if only the lid worked!

Our experience is the same as the first reviewer, we've had two defective units now where the lid mechanism failed. If only they had used a "retro" hydraulic lid support, simple and fail-safe, instead of the servo unit that, according to the manufacturer, is not robust enough for the rigours of parcel shipping.

We're now waiting on a third unit, and cannot say enough to praise the good folk at Retro Wonders for their diligence and concern in taking care of our problems.

Looks Beautiful But Problematic.......2006-03-17

The Crosley Sleigh Radio was inspired by the Spartan Radio, one of the most elegant Art Deco radios of the 1930's. Unfortunately, I do not have the resources to pay $3-4,000 for an original radio. The Crosley Sleigh radio is an economical substitution for the original.

On the surface, the Crosley Sleigh radio is a beautifully sculptured radio with the added bonus of a CD Player and a FM tuner. However, the most serious problem with the radio is the top lid that raises and lowers to provide access to the CD Player. The mechanism that raises and lowers the lid does not work very well. I noticed this problem with the first radio that I purchased. I returned it to the vendor and received a second radio. That second radio had the identical problem. I believe it is a design flaw.

The bottom line is that this is a beautiful radio with a serious flaw. I am willing to live with this flaw because it looks great in the living room of my 1939 International Style house. Learn to live with the flaw or start saving to purchase the orignal Spartan Radio.

1930's Elegance with 21st Century Sound.......2006-03-09

The Crosley Sleigh is a magnificent piece of Art Deco sculpture! This must be the reason why people back in the 1930's used to sit around and watch their radios. It's a substantial piece of equipment with real glass and chrome, not a disappointing flimsy imitation.

The mirrored sides are not the overwhelming neon blue they appear to be in the photo on this page; it's more of a dark cobalt blue and in low incadescent light it looks black.

I would have been content with the appearance alone, but the sound is amazing! Even with the volume turned up loud enough to fill the house the sound stays pure and clear.

The CD player is revealed by pressing a button on the left side which starts a motor that slowly raises the lid to reveal the CD playing mechanism and the controls. Most small CD players start reading the disk when you close the lid, but with the Sleigh the CD is held in place and played by a small black arm that is reminiscent of a phonograph. The practicality of the arm becomes apparent right away - you'll want to leave the lid open while you're playing CDs. If the lid is closed you won't be able to get at the PLAY, SKIP, REPEAT, STOP, PAUSE buttons.

The radio part of the package is more than satisfactory. Without resorting to the wire antenna the Sleigh picks up all the normal stations around here and a few that weren't coming in well on the Sony boombox (with telescoping antenna).

There may be potential problems with the mechanized lid and the CD playing arm. They seem to be well made, but I'm just leary of mechanical parts. I'm planning to treat those delicately.

Overall, the Sleigh is gorgeous and sounds great! I love it!

A functional piece of high Art Deco sculpture.......2006-02-03

Late one evening about thirty years ago I flipped out when I spotted a beautiful vintage cobalt blue glass and chrome Art Deco radio in a window in Orange, California. The store was closed and I never got back to inquire about the price, but I probably couldn't have afforded it anyway. I've thought about it occasionally and have always wanted one like it. Three days ago my wish came true when an updated version sold under the Crosley logo was delivered to my house. Here are my impressions:

First, contrary to the advertisements, it is NOT a faithful reproduction of the original Sparton Radio Co No. 557 "sled" aesthetically or functionally. But this isn't really a bad thing, and I'll explain why. The earlier version of the original, or I should say "originals," had three knobs instead of four, like the newest version has. The second original version had a forth knob added as a tone control, and attractive black deco etching was also added. The four knobs on the second version of the vintage Sparton were not equidistant. They were arranged in two groups of two each, with a little more space between the two groups. Other than that the aesthetic effect is pretty much the same.

In my opinion the new version "sleigh" of the Sparton "sled" by Crosley is not a reproduction as much as it is an update of the original. You wouldn't really want a beautiful radio that is only capable of receiving AM broadcasts, would you? With the Crosley repro you can also select for AM, FM, FM sterio, AUX, and a CD player hidden under the hinged glass top. Two AUX standard RCA input jacks are in the back to plug in inputs from a record player or even an iPod if you have the correct cables. Unfortunately there is no tone control, as on the original, but the sound is pretty good.

Design of the original exterior Deco case back in 1936 was by the talented and prolific industrial designer Walter Dorwin Teague. The original Sparton "sleds" came in the beautiful cobalt blue mirror glass, pink mirror glass, and sort of non-glass material with a mottled grey and black pattern something like Jackson Pollock might have approved of. Other than that they looked pretty much identical in design style. Photos indicate the original "sleds" had black knobs instead of the chrome knobs of the Crosley Repro.

Today's "sleigh" uses molded high quality black plastic trim where the old "sleds" used black painted wood. The plastic should be more durable and not show scuff marks as much as the painted wood did. The cobalt blue case is real glass and not blue colored plastic. It should not be susceptible to scratch marks if properly cared for.

I give the new updated Crosley version a solid five stars for aesthetics. It is a true work of machine-age sculptural Deco art and a pleasure to look at when it is just sitting on the table.

Two smallish stereo speakers, one each tastefully concealed in the opposite ends of the case, give it a pretty good sound in spite of having no tone or balance controls. What you hear is what you get. The addition of a CD player is icing on the cake. What is really neat is the way you get to the CD player. Glass is a dense and heavy material, as well as being easily subject to breakage. So this incredible radio has its own servo motor to gently raise and close the entire hinged top for access to the CD unit. CD control buttons and a red digital indicator are exposed and easily accessible when the top is open. The servo is activated by pressing a chrome button on the left end of the case, Photos show a similar button in the same place on the vintage 1938 versions . I have no idea what it was for on the old ones, or if it even served a functional purpose. The soft whirring of the lid lifter servo is a bit distracting when it is in operation and a CD is playing, but this is nit picking. The CD player works with the lid open or closed, so you can just leave it open if this is a big deal.

The selectors on the front feel a bit "scrapey," as contrasted with the smooth solid movements and positive mechanical click notches of high quality electronic equipment, but they seem to work OK. This is probably my biggest gripe. They feel cheap, fragile, and imprecise. Because the knobs themselves are finished in slick chrome, without serrations, they are difficult to get a solid grip on. However, the unit is as much a piece of Deco sculpture as a functional radio and I approve of the decision to give higher priority to looks. If the slippery knobs are too much of a problem one can always wrap tape around them for a better grip.

Don't expect a detailed instruction booklet because there isn't one. You do get a small 3/4 page sheet of minimal instructions with the necessary info to operate the radio and CD, and a diagram of what is located where. The FM antenna is a simple thin insulated wire that you are instructed to move around until good reception is achieved. Goofy as it sounds I found this works pretty well. I assume the wire is cut to the correct FM dipole length.

The electronic front end (signal detector section) is about average for a home radio. It won't pick up distant FM stations as well as some car radios but, hey, neither will most of other home radios, including a Boze. So I give this radio five stars also for functionality.

In summary, the radio is a well integrated modern update of a beautiful piece of high Deco glass sculpture. Made in China, the case seems to be well built, with close attention given to fit and finish detail. The radio is somewhat heavy, weighing about 20 pounds. I have found no major flaws so far. Durability is yet to be determined. I am more than pleased with mine.

Pricing is all over the place, ranging from $220 to $129, which is what I paid, plus $20 shipping. These may not be available much longer, so if you want one it might be a good idea to act soon. Some suppliers are already out of stock. But who knows, as long as the demand is there they just might go on and on.

Old Unreliable..........2006-12-29

I don't know if it's my modem or my ISP...but for some reason my Internet connection keeps getting lost. I've had this modem for about a year now and most of the time it does what it's supposed to do. Every now and then, however--sometimes for a day and sometimes for weeks--it loses its commnection. Then I have to unplug it, reset it, plug it back in...see if it works.... If it doesn't, I have to do it again...maybe call my ISP on the phone....

I get a lot of downtime when I should be online and productive. Shop around. I figure there must be something more reliable than this out there.

Was great for a year and then...........2006-12-15

Like other reviwers stated, works fine for awhile then gradually gets worse and worse. After about 1 year mine had trouble connecting all the time. Now I've switched it out I've had no problems connecting since.

just a plain good cable modem.......2006-12-11

I recieved my sb5100 free with hook up to cable internet, and this is 500 times better than the one I had in kansas city. fast, reliable, no problems in 3 years now. Highly recommended, very affordable, dependable brand. Great price, great value.

had to be replaced.......2006-09-24

i had this modem for about 9 months and for the first 8 months it ran perfectly. unfortunately, it gradually became harder and harder to get online. it took longer and longer to connect and it kept dropping the connection while i was online. at first, i thought it was just Comcast having problems or maybe it was my computer. I switched the computer and called Comcast but still ended up with the same problems. it was the modem that was the problem. i didn't have any problem with Comcast replacing it for free though. they gave me a Scientific-Atlanta Inc. modem, so time will tell if this one does the same. don't worry though if you had bought one. Comcast knows about this problem and they will swap out your modem no problem.

Trouble free.......2006-08-19

I've been using this modem for three years without a hiccup. Although there are newer models available, if you can find a working used version of this modem (and your ISP supports it) it should (hopefully) last for years and cost a lot less than the latest modems.

Great TV, Great Value.......2003-05-25

this is the best TV for the price I am very happy with the quality of this TV

Response.......2003-02-19

In response to "A Guest from Cinncinati, Ohio" - if you knew anything about sound and the way it should be modified, then you would also know that "base" is spelled B-A-S-S.

Good everything... but sound.......2003-01-21

The tv looks great, good picture, easy controls, and set-up. The poor side is the sound. You don't have much control over base and treble.. besides if you want them extra high or low. But even with the base on low (or normal) and the treble on high, the sound is very muffled. So when you listen on a low volume setting... all you get is mumbles..

Going to get cable in a few days... maybe that will help. If not... back to the store..

not on trouble shooter list.......2002-11-30

I own a philips 27 inch television, model 27ps55ss, one day a few weeks ago while surfing with the remote the channel froze on screen and there was no sound. Nothing I did to change the situation helped. I changed the batteries, but nothing, I couldn't turn off the tv using the remote. I even was forced to get up out of my chair and tried to turn off the tv manually. Still nothing worked, until I pulled the cord from the wall and started all over again.It worked fine for a few hours then the same problem happened again. I called philips 800 number and no one there ever heard of such a problem(lucky me). THANK GOD FOR COSTCO, NO QUESTIONS ASKED THEY REFUNDED MY MONEY AND I PURCHASED AGAIN THE SAME MODEL.(2 days later) so far so good. RAUL

Excellent Buy !!!.......2002-10-12

I bought this TV brand new from a local store and have used it for about 2 weeks now and it is just great! I have not had any problems with using PlayStation 2 on the side AV input.

Very good dvd player.......2007-02-13

Owned this unit for about 2 1/2 years. In general, the unit worked very well. It plays DVD and DVD+R disc for sure. The screen is big and crisp, and with the headphones on, you really get immersed into the movie. The screen is very watchable and clear. It has all the major controls on the unit itself. I like the fact that it has the fast forward/backward buttons, in addition to the skip chapter buttons. I believe the MDP-1030, which is similar to this unit, does NOT have the fast forward buttons on player itself (it's on the remote), and that tiny fact makes the the MDP-1030 (not this model) a bit inconvenient. This model DOES have does buttons. It also has other features on the remote that are less used.

The good thing about this DVD player is that it also plays PAL (?) discs on DVD+R with no problems. Don't need to configure it or anything. Plays right out of the box. At least mine did, since it was purchased 2 1/2 years ago. If they didn't change it, it should still work the same.

The only thing was the DVD popup cover (where you insert the DVD). It's quite fragile, so open and close the lid carefully. I forgot how long, possibly a year into it, the spring popping the lid broke and the lid became detached so I had to use a sticky note to open the lid. Other than that, it's worked fine for 2 1/2 years. The power switch suddenly doesn't work and seems loose, but I am wondering if it could have been one of my kids that broke it, but can't be sure at this point.

I really liked it while it was working. Thinking about getting another one.

Crickster.......2006-11-11

Big Screen and everything looks great with this DVD player. But after three four days, it failed to play half of the dvds. Also, the one it played. it kept skipping every few seconds. For the price around $244, you can buy much better things then this DVD player.

The Mintek quality needs much more improvements..

An excellent choice. I strongly recomended.......2006-10-14

Lowest cost, high quality picture, perfect audio for this type of equipement, easy to use and a lot of feasures. Great for your kids when traveling in your car. Can beat this equipment for the price. I am very pleased.

It works fine, but is much larger than other options...even other options from iGo.

Doesn't t work with DELL!!! Poor tech support........2006-08-05

I bought the iGo Juice 70. Seems like a good idea with auto adaptor. However, the DELL adaptor does not charge the computer (it's "power only"). I can't think of reason why anyone would spend $100 on a mobile charger that doesn't charge the device. They don't make this clear through their website or their third party vendors. On top of it all their customer service wouldn't take the return and told me I should have known.

The charger with adaptors ends up being almost as bulky as all your chargers in the first place. They also didn't have 2 out of 3 adaptors I needed.

Good product, just a bit heavy.......2006-06-12

I agonized for a while over which universal power adapter to buy for my two sony laptops. Some other brands did not support the power requirements of my Sonys, so i choose iGo. I settled on this model because i didnt want to pay more for auto/air (igo everywhere 7500) and this looked to be the best price for what i got.

pros-
good price for the functionality i wanted. Cheaper than the OEM replacement.

seems to have adapters for any laptop i may need to power.

available dualpower adapter to charge a phone or ipod at the same time (i didnt need this).

carrying case with cable ties keep things orderly when not in use.

cons-
its very heavy. it feels twice as heavy as the power bricks that came with my laptops (physically its about the same size as the larger of my two). right now this one stays home while the OEM brick travels with me.

the cables feel a bit more fragile than the OEM one. I dont expect this one to last as long, but for me its just a backup so that is fine.

there are so many tips, i often forget which is which (so i grabbed a sharpie and marked them up). there is no good way to keep them organized or separated in the carry case.

overall im pleased with it. im not sure why they made it blue, but it doesnt look obnoxious.
