"You pay for this, but they give you that."

The contemporary Crosley line has no connection whatsoever to the vintage gear. It's the product of Modern Marketing Concepts ('... a global sales optimization company...') which bought the trademark, and nothing else, some decades ago. Not coincidentally, MMC-Crosley has been a major player in mass marketing the third Saturday of April as Record Store Day.

Last I dealt with them the modern Crosley was engineered, designed and manufactured in the usual Pacific Rim countries; sea-trained to a centralized warehouse in Simpsonville, KY and from there over to Amazon-kydc order fulfillment in Lexington.

There was not a quality assurance or control engineer on the payroll anywhere. Customer service/support was what one would expect to follow along that line of reasoning. The turntables eat vinyl even when they're working as intended.

Caveat emptor
