Songs are selected by pressing the letter and number buttons on the face of the device and, once a song is chosen, the jukebox mimics the pop of a classic vinyl record loading into place. The stereo speakers produce vibrant, room-filling sound. The jukebox has digital FM radio tuning with 20 presets and it connects to an external stereo, amplifier, headphones, iPod or other MP3 player. Includes a CD filled with 100 classic late 1950s/early 1960s songs from the original artists. 15" H x 121⁄2" W x 7" D. (7 lbs.)
