Found this at a flea market for $30. Obviously this unit isn’t about high-end audio fidelity… it’s a neat visual edition to a living or games room.
Only downside for me is that almost all of the mini bulbs have burned out in the front panel. Opening the unit revealed that they’re not easily-replaceable xmas tree lights…. these puppies are hard-wired in.
I need help with finding out what the meaning of this passage is. Help PLEASE?
I am having a really hard time figuring out what the meaning of this passage is. I have gone over it several times and still very confused on what it really means.

As I listened, I realized she knew every word.The waitress was about 20. Elvis had been dead more years than she had been alive. How, I wondered, did she know the words to an Elvis song? And not to just any Elvis song, but one from the Fifties?I don’t know the words to, say, a Count Basie song. Okay, Count Basie songs don’t have words. The point is that this girl — and, yes, she seemed to me just that, a girl — was extraordinarily familiar with a song that was so ancient as to be practically Biblical. (And Elvis begot The Beatles, and The Beatles begot the English Invasion, and the English Invasion begot hair bands, and hair bands begot punk, and punk begot grunge, and grunge begot thrash-metal-indie-ska-hip-hop.)

The posters taped to the outside walls, presumably to entice customers, weren’t of anything having to do with the current generation. One was of Muhammad Ali glowering over a flat-on-his-back Sonny Liston. Another was of Jim Morrison. A third depicted Jimi Hendrix coaxing fire from his guitar. The only poster remotely related to current times showed Kurt Cobain in performance.What, I wondered, am I to make of this?Is there a generation gap or isn’t there?You don’t hear the term generation gap anymore. I used to think that was because we simply assumed it existed and didn’t need to identify it any longer. But is it possible that the baby boomers so dominated youth culture as to have defined it for generations to come? What with those aging boomers going with their kids to Foo Fighters concerts, has the gap narrowed to a thin fissure?Of course, there is Britney and Eminem and Blink 182. But will college students 30 years hence be singing Eminem songs and purchasing his likeness for their walls? Or will they still be singing old Elvis songs and buying Hendrix posters?Sometimes I don’t know what to think. Let me rephrase that. Almost always I don’t know what to think. But sometimes it’s worse than other times. This is one of those times.As for the times themselves, I have no idea what they are a doin’. I only know that it’s always been fun to use bad grammar.Hey charles m can you please explain each paragraph to me? Then also can you tell me what the full meaning of the passage is. Like completey meaning. Thanks

Someone had this and gave it to me because he didn’t want it anymore. Radio reception in an office building is poor and the sound quality mediocre. It is a conversation piece, however.
The bubbler feature on the juke box did not function. I contacted price pros and was told I would receive a shipping label and a new product neither of which I received. A week later I emailed them to finally get a return label to be told they are going to try to fix my NEW product by shipping it back to the manufacture. This was a gift?!?! Very Frustrating. The juke box looks good and sounds great. Waiting on the refurbished juke box. I was not offered a refund.
I was amazed at the great sound that boomed from this little Crosley Radio ijuke Jukebox. The bubbler is just like the ones on larger expensive sizes. The colors are great fun, and the size perfect. If you love music and like to dance you will go crazy over this jukebox. It makes me feel happy. Nonie
This product looks and sounds great. However some of the parts have come apart and when I wanted to exchange they were out of the product.
UPDATE: After about 3 months of rare use, the unit stopped responding to remote commands; due to the limited controls actually on the unit, I can no longer operate the CD player (at all) or change the volume. I’ve tried new batteries, and even an additional remote; very disappointing. The lights are still working, but without audio, it’s almost pointless.
2nd Update: The unit DOES still respond to remote commands; but I had to unplug the unit for a few minutes, then plug it back in. Now it’s working again. I don’t know why this happened, or why it worked, but I’ve used this “fix” twice already.
ORIGINAL REVIEW:
I bought this Crosley Bubbler iJuke CR-16 after seeing a similar Crosley in a store locally last Holiday season, but was gone when I went to buy one. I did a lot of research deciding which one to purchase; mostly within the Crosley line.
What I wanted (so you know the basis of this review): a pretty speaker set-up for a new Zune mp3 player which could also play CD’s, and ideally be controlled by my universal remote.
What this is: Very pretty, unobtrusive when the lights are off, OK quality machine.
How it works:
The built-in radio is controlled by a dial tuner which is usually hidden behind a flip-down piece of decoration.
The CD player is hidden within the “Crosley” slide-out tray.
There is a 1/8″ (mini stereo / standard TRS connector) input on the back for connecting mp3 players, etc.
A mostly-full-function remote, in 50’s styling, can be hidden/stored inside the back of the unit to help it from getting lost (nice touch).
There are auxiliary speaker output wiring jacks, which I haven’t tried, which I would assume from the data sheet would be OK but not very powerful.
Options/controls:
There is a toggle switch on the back where you can select to have the led “infinity” lights steady on, or flashing.
There is a toggle switch on the back by the mini jack input where you must select whether the radio/CD player are active – or the mini jack. (see complaint # 1 below “control”).
The push-button switch which turns the lights on or off is hidden behind the flip-down radio control display (see complaint #2 “control”)
Opinion / Review:
I wanted to put all of that information first, because it’s hard to find out the specifics of each of these units – and one should know what one is considering purchasing.
Sound Quality: “Good”. You must keep your expectations real; if you want a 700watt surround-sound speaker system; this is not for you. If you just want to be able to play a little music or listen to the radio – and don’t mind not having heavy bass; this can handle it.
Lights: “Great”. They claim there’s neon – but I’m a designer and I don’t believe them. I think there are either fluorescent tubes or LEDs behind there – which is fine with me. The lights are pretty exciting, and the bubbles are fun.
Bubbles: “Very Good”. When you turn the lights on, it takes about 15 minutes to “warm up” before the bubbles begin to bubble. Before then, they look just like one of the regular light tubes. I’m OK with that, not always patient, but physics are what they are. The challenge here is that often (about 40% of the time, informally) one side or the other doesn’t begin to bubble. You can usually hear an audible “chung” when the bubbles begin; to unstick the side that’s stuck, you lightly tap (brush-punch) the bottom housing of that tube. Not wonderful, but it does work easily every time.
Control: “Poor”. I purposely got this unit because it has a CD player and a mini-jack for my zune. The radio was a bonus – unfortunately, you have to flip a manual toggle switch (black by the way, surrounded by black) on the rear of the unit to go between auxiliary input OR the CD/radio. Why couldn’t this be a switch on the front? Better yet, why not make it electronic so it can be controlled by the remote?
The lights – let’s face it: that’s why you buy a mini juke box…for the light “show”. Otherwise; there are better speakers for you out there. My #1 complaint is that to turn the lights on, you have to flip-down the front of the unit, push a button, and flip back up the decoration. Not hard, but very inconvenient. Again; why not an electronic switch so it can be controlled by the remote?
If not for the poor control choices, this unit would have gotten 5 stars.
This is cute mini replica of an old Jukebox, plus it has an added cassette player!
great sound and appearance. Bought for a child’s birthday gift. More appropriate for an adult because of durability.
This guy is a winner. I picked mine up after season last year when it was discounted. I had been wanting one for about a year before that. This Jukebox is loud (for its size) and clear. Has the bonus of CD player and after a few minutes the bubbles start to flow on either side of the machine’s neon sides. Just like the old-style bubble jukeboxes of yesteryear. It definitely attracts attention in the room when turned on. I consider it a very good quality made electronic device. Crosley is not known for junk. I think any time you can pick up this item for under $100 you got a deal, but over that I would consider upgrading to a bigger Crosley jukebox system. If you can’t afford to own or have the space to have a full Jukebox, this desktop scale version is IT! Love it!
This is a stunning looking, great sounding remake of the classic Jukebox. The remote control is extremely handy when you fist wake up and all you have to do is hit play. The lights are psychedelic and light up the room in the dark. The only peeve I have is that you can’t turn off the lights with the remote, to do that you have to press the button yourself; that’s only a problem when I want to go to bed.
Despite the fact that this jukebox was not created for Iphone 3GS (and you’ll get repeated alerts telling you so on your Iphone) it *is* working. Make sure the switch on the back of the unit is set to “internal speakers” and put your Iphone in Airplane mode (under the Settings icon on the Iphone home screen). It’s charging and playing great! And it’s a lot more fun than the generic black box units. I’m not an audiophile but I think it sounds great — at least as good as a 70’s boombox.
