  I don’t own a Crosley but my ilive is very similar. So I took your advice and bought the diamond needle. Wow!! It’s like a brand new player!! It’s really awesome that you put this video out instead of like so many out there bashing the all in ones. I will still be saving for a better player but for now I’m happy. Thank you

  When you squeeze the terminals to make a better fit...   slide a tooth pick inside the terminal so when you squeeze, you have the wood as resistance preventing you from over squeezing and crushing.  Also makes holding  the terminal  easier when squeezing.

  That stereo stack is a trip. It looks like every early-2000's stereo that typically had a 5-disc changer. I've never seen one with a turntable.

  you have to admire his persistence with trying to find a cheap record player that's able to play daft punk without skipping and ask for that 78 record while I haven't got that song out my head now

  Wow thank you for this article!  I bought my niece a Crosley suitcase and it was cute as a 15 year old gift, she just turned 20 and her collection keeps growing. Feeling guilty that it sounds like crap but will get her a cartridge and replace it for her.

  This clip at <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EBbprKEsExM&amp;t=695">11:35</a> was from &quot;It&apos;s a Wonderful Life&quot;, one of the many holiday films ever made.

  Wow, the amazing sound of that 78, blew me away. I’ve never heard one sound that crisp &amp; clear.

  I recall many years ago dealing with ceramic cartridges just like you. In those days the magnetics were more costly and I needed a preamp. So I modified the turntable to take the best ceramic. It had two separate metal parts each had a needle, lp and 78. They would flip to the receiving mount. The unit had the best specs &nbsp;0.5 V &nbsp;with very good channel separation. When was all done it would not match a magnetic. In those days my resources was thin as I bought a 20 stereo Amp circuit board made by phillips. &nbsp;I am quite surprised to see records coming back.

  I just bought my first record player. I got the suitcase Victrola player and was having the same problems with skipping on certain tracks. The BP2ATC was a life saver, works perfectly! Thank you so much for this tip!

  These are good replacements for those old 45 record changers from the 50’s. I have a lot of fun with mine.
