Journey II Suitcase Record Player

Back in the 1950s and 1960s while I was growing up in Michigan there used to be large delivery trucks from different companies that would go from door-to-door bringing product samples to homeowners.

Since my mom couldn’t drive, she would order different household items from one of the companies.

She would select her products, pay the driver, and within a week or two the products would be delivered.

On one occasion mom ordered me a small, pink and white suitcase/portable record player. It was cheap and plastic but I loved it.

I would play my 45 records on it. I was about 13 or 14 years old.

Later when I attended high school (1969 to 1971) my study hall teacher would let me bring the suitcase/portable record player to class and play classic rock and roll LPs popular at the time.

I had that record player until 1973 until I moved from Michigan to Florida. I believe I gave it to one of my nephews or nieces.

Victrola has a new portable suitcase record player that reminds me of my old one. Of course the material is much better, along with the sound quality and there are few extras my old record player didn’t have.

The Victrola Journey II Suitcase Record Player comes in a hard and sturdy cardboard box with an flip-open and tabbed lid. The lid is held in place by a piece of tape.

The box is decorated with photos of the record player on all sides-my version is aqua color. On the back are additional photos with specs and one of the photos is an exploded view of the record players’ speakers.

Inside the box the record player is held in place by two form-fitted cardboard sleeves. The record player is covered and protected by a plastic bag.

Included with the record player are a power cord (also in a bag), an extra needle cartridge (in a bag) and instructions.

Carefully remove the record player and components from the box and follow the instructions as to how to ready the record player for use. Plug in the power source, take the protective slip-on plastic cap of the needle assembly, loosen the needle arm, raise the arm, select the record speed (33, 45 or 78), place your album or 45 on the turntable, put the auto stop switch on, press the power button being sure to select the correct playback mode: BT. Line-In, Phono or BT Out, make sure the power indicator red light is on, lower the arm and get ready to rock!

Small and light enough to carry wherever you want the portable suitcase record player has built-in speakers, Bluetooth streaming and Vinyl Stream technology.

Also included are a 45 RPM Adapter, a headphone jack and RCA Line Out for red and white connectors.

I’ve test all the modes and the sound quality is great. Headphones bring the sound up close and personal, Bluetooth allows me to connect to my remote Bluetooth speakers placed in an area I choose and for a more stationary selection I can hook up standard speakers. I used some small computer speakers.

I love it! It has that vintage look with easy controls. It sits solidly on any flat surface and for such a inexpensive record player it turns out quality sound-much, much better than my player from my younger years.

Listen to music via the built-in speakers, Bluetooth speakers or through a set of headphones. It’s easy to carry using its handle and suitcase design. Take it anywhere.

The case is of heavy (metal?) construction with protective, reinforced metal, wraparound corners, the handle is secure and heavy, the locking mechanism is a simple clip lock that securely keeps the lid shut while transporting and twin speakers in the front turn out some incredible sound.

On the back are two heavy-duty hinges, a power plug-in and red and white outlets plug-ins for external speakers.

Just look at these features:

  • 3-speeds (33 1/3, 45, 78 RPM)
  • Stream music from your smart device, no messy wires.
  • Play your favorite records through any Bluetooth speaker.
  • With its he 3.5mm aux-in you can connect any non-Bluetooth enabled device.
  • The RCA outlet connects to existing sound systems.
  • A headphone jack.
  • Measures 14 x 10 x 5.28 inches.

It is has an extremely rugged and well-made suitcase that also includes four rubber legs. It’s an very attractive and looks both vintage and high-tech.

I can hardly wait to use it when I go to a family gathering, on vacation or when or wherever I want to go.

Romans 15:13 - Now the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, that ye may abound in hope, through the power of the Holy Ghost.

SparkO Wearable Flashlight And Magnetic Mount


I ride a bike- a lot. One of things that is essential when riding a bike is to have a bright light (which also flashes) so vehicle drivers can see you.

I don’t like having stationary light on my bike because (unfortunately) if I decide to go to a store or to make a ‘pit stop’ my light might not be there when I get back.

I need a powerful light, that flashes, strobes, adjusts its brightness and that I can take with me.

I also need a light that once I remove it from my bike I can take it home and use it there-whether it is around the house, in the garage or even at night if I have to go outside to find something. A magnetic stand would be nice.

Scoutlite must have heard me because its new SparkO Wearable Flashlight and MJ-6571 Magnetic Mount fit the bill.

The back of the circular light is magnetic and sticks securely to my bicycle. I can even flip the light open and adjust up, down, right or left depending how I position it on the Magnetic Mount. I can also wear it on my cloths. 

The handy snap-shut retaining ring is also magnetic and it securely fastens to my jacket, shirt, head band, cap lid-you get the idea. It’s also very light and stays in place. The rubber 'hinge' is tough and durable.

The light is also intensity adjustable. It can go from a soft light all the way up to super bright light with the simple push of the button on the front of the light case. Different button sequences adjusts the light to red or white, blink, pulsating at different speeds and soft light to bright. It’s amazingly adjustable and easy to use.

It can even attach to your cellphone:  Check-out these other cool SparkO Flashlight features:

  • Hands-free lighting
  • Comes in various colors: Forest Moss, Glacier Blue, Canyon Clay and Basalt Black
  • Clips to your cloths or collar
  • Sticks magnetically to metal surfaces
  • Stands independently or works handheld
  • 300 lumens of CRI95 studio-grade light in just 52g
  • Extremely light
  • Three color temperatures (cool/neutral/warm)
  • 14.5-hour runtime
  • USB-C charging
  • IPX5 water resistant
  • 1.5m impact resistance

It's a Reddot winner of 2025!

Look over the detailed instructions and before you know it you’ll be a pro at using this handy little (and powerful LED) SparkO by Scoutlite. Check out the Scoutlite website by clicking here, to watch a demonstration video (scroll to the bottom of the page).

The SparkO comes in a foam-packed box with a USB-C power cord for quick recharges and an instruction sheet. The Magnetic Mount comes in a similar small box without the foam.  All packing materials are made using Eco-Friendly materials.

The MJ-6571Scoutlite Magnetic Mount consists of a large magnetic ring with an adjustable arm where a smaller magnetic ring is attached. The smaller ring magnetically attaches to the SparkO Wearable Flashlight.

You can set and adjust the Magnetic Mount on any metal surface (vertical or horizontal) or by placing the one of two small metallic rings to the bottom of the large ring you can sit the Mount on a table, etc. The small ring makes the large ring non-magnetic.

Or you can adhere the rings to non-metallic surfaces so you can magnetically attach the Mount.  The two hinges adjust easily and keep the magnetic ring stationary in whatever position it is set at.  There is no wobble or looseness. It’s an incredibly versatile stand!

Both the SparkO Wearable Flashlight and Magnetic Mount  are made of metal with nice designs and pleasing aesthetics.

Whether you ride a bike, like to walk, need a small light around the house, a handy by the bed nightlight or a small light or a thousand other uses I highly recommend the Scoutlite SparkO Wearable Flashlight and Magnetic Mount.

They will ‘brighten up’ your day!

Music Edition 2 Tabletop Bluetooth Speaker


Gone are the days when hooking up a speaker to a record player or any other audio device with numerous speaker wires and a power cord.

I remember getting my first stereo when I was a teenager many years a go and it was headache trying to get the whole shebang set-up. It was frustrating, confusing and cumbersome. Plus I was limited on how I far apart I could set up my speakers. Trying to move the whole unit-forget it-it was a pain.

I’m glad those days are over. With my new Victrola Music Edition 2 Tabletop Bluetooth Speaker I can link up to my record player and move the speaker wherever I want. No fuss, no tangled wires and best of all clean, crisp and quality sound.

With the simple touch of a couple buttons, a charged up battery powered Bluetooth speaker and viola! You’re up and running with a full stereo speaker that you can put anywhere in your mancave, she-shack, garage, studio, any room in you house, at an outside event or in your back yard while entertaining guests at a party, barbecue or get together.

Measuring in at nine inches long, three and a half inches wide and four and a half inches high the Victrola Music Edition 2 Tabletop Bluetooth Speaker packs a lot of features into a small package.

I’ve linked my speaker up with my Victrola Eastwood II portable record player and I love the sound quality and ability to move the speaker wherever I want. What a great combination!

While setting up I did not realize the volume was set on high. When the link kicked in I was just about blown away by the sound-it was that powerful. As loud as it was the sound quality was clear and crisp.

With it’s rich bass, full mids and crisp highs it’s the perfect wireless speaker for your mobile devices. It’s easy to pair up phones, tablets, computers or other Bluetooth compatible electronics.

Hold down the multifunction button for five seconds to switch the speaker into MP3 USB mode. You can plug in and play music straight from a USB-C flash drive.

It has a great wireless range with no worries about losing connection and its built-in wireless charging pad is convenient for charging phones with no wires to mess with.

An Aux-In Jack is on the back of the unit. An Aux-In Cord is not included.

The Music Edition 2 Tabletop Bluetooth Speaker came shipped in a heavy cardboard box sealed securely with tape. Inside, the product box arrived wrapped in tissue paper secured with tape.

The speaker box has a slide-on, full-lid decorated with photos of the black speaker.

Inside the box the speaker is wrapped in white plastic with a Victrola circular sticker.

The speaker rests on a inset foam cradle. The upper lid of the box is foam coated. Included with the speaker is a small box (also cradled in foam) that contains a USB cord and wall outlet adapter. No worries about any damage to the unit.

Victrola Eastwood II


It’s time to break out the classic vinyl LPs and give them a spin!

There’s nothing like listening to Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young, Seals and Croft, Carol King, Cat Stevens and other singer/songwriters from the 1970s to lift up my spirits and bring back some great memories. Yeah, I’m dating myself.

And what better way to do that than by playing them on Victrola’s Eastwood II portable record player that combines a classic look with state-of-the art technology?

What is it about listening to music on LPs? It seems more genuine with all the pops and crackles. Albums (classic and current) are more than just vinyl, most include lyrics, photos and even inserts.

Listening to them on Victrola’s Eastwood II brings out every little string stroke, vocal fluctuation and genuine sound as if the LPs were recorded in the studio yesterday. Vinyl-you can’t beat it. Keep your streaming and CDs. Give me good old fashion vinyl any day!

You held them in your hands, they were real, substantial and ‘felt’ like music unlike CDs, streaming, etc. OK, enough music nostalgia-on to the Victrola Eastwood II record player.

I really got excited when I saw the Victrola box sitting on my front porch after Fed-Ex delivered it. I could hardly wait to get it inside and unpack it!

The record player came in a heavy, cardboard shipping box securely sealed with tape. Once opened the actual Victrola Eastwood II box was inside.

Although made of a slightly lighter paper stock the box was sealed shut with tape with hinged lids decorated with photos of the unit on all sides.

Inside the record player was snug between two formed-fitted, heavy cardboard stock end cap pieces. Inside one of the insert’s cavities was the power cord, also secured with a plastic coated wire, inside a sealed clear plastic bag.

The record player came in a clear plastic bag and the transparent and removable lid was protected by clear plastic sheet. Easy-to-follow instructions came in its own clear plastic bag.

Taking the record player out of the bag I sat it on my man-cave table.

The unit sits upon four rubberized feet that allows the record player to move slightly thus eliminating record skips.

I plugged the unit in, selected the vinyl function on the light up power knob (which turns on and off by holding it down for 2 to 3 seconds.)

The vinyl mode ring light on the power knob is white, vinyl stream is flashing white then solid white and the Bluetooth function is flashing blue when it’s ready to pair and solid blue then white when connected.

Bluetooth devices connect automatically when the Bluetooth function is activated. However some Bluetooth devices require you to put in a code number via an app. Be sure to check the Bluetooth connectivity of your devices.

The turn table can be set for 72, 45 (an adapter is set into the turntable itself) or 33 1/3 speeds. You can also set the auto-stop if you prefer.

Lay your selected LP on the platter with the clear lid open. The lid has two cutouts, one on the back and one on the side, that allow you to set the LP on the platter and close the lid. I found these cut-out slots to my advantage as it helped me set my LP down in the correct spot on the first try.

When the lid is closed it protects your LP from dust and damage.

Take the protective needle cap off the stylus. Be careful not to dislodge the needle cartridge itself. It is easily replaced with a light pull and clip in and out.

Lift the tune arm off its rest using the lift lever and position the Audio-Technica AT-3600LA cartridge needle over the desired selection on the LP.

Position the needle into place and the lower the lift lever to play the LP.

WOW! What awesome audio! The built-in speakers (behind the soft cloth front) really deliver clear and clean sound. Pair it up with a Bluetooth device and you are ready to rock and roll!

I have mine set-up with two external speakers for wraparound stereo sound-awesome!

A really like the wood detail on the record player’s sides and back and the charcoal gray/black cloth on the front really gives the unit a vintage/modern look-just like when I was playing LPs on my first record player all those years (decades) ago.

The Vinyl Stream Technology makes playing through an external Bluetooth speaker(s) easy.

On the back of the Eastwood II record player is a RCA Line Out Jack for any amplifier/stereo device, a Headphone Jack and a DC Power Input Jack.

I love it! What an awesome portable record player. Set up is easy, fast and the unit itself is designed to be rugged enough to take a few bumps and slides and still come out playing clear, music. The clear lid also has small rubber bumpers on its front edge for lid protection. Who could ask for more?

So, excuse me while I break out my bell-bottom jeans, love beads, pull back my hair (what’s left of it) with a head band, put on my Earth shoes, kick back and relive my youth--at least for a little while. Groovy and far out!

Psalms 37:4 - Delight thyself also in the LORD; and he shall give thee the desires of thine heart.

TinyTV2



There are times in my 72 years when I appreciate that I have strong glasses. Otherwise the world is blur and seeing small type and objects can be troublesome.

In the case of TinyCircuits’ TinyTV2 having good vision comes in handy.

The TinyTV2 is a miniature TV with a screen that measures approximate one inch by 3/4 inch. Images are in full-color and even more surprising they are sharp and well-defined.

The small TV looks like a vintage pre-LED TV console with an on and off switch and volume and sound controls and they actually work!

The body of the TV is wood color plastic along with the tiny four legs and the front of the TV is silver/gray with a small rectangular speaker between the control knobs.

The back of the TV looks like a vintage analog TV with surface vents and a cathode TV tube protrusion.

The sound quality is clear without static or variations.

The TV has pre-loaded mini-videos including a Gumby clip, a seashore with seagulls short, a view from outer space of earth, a flickering fire and several short clips of TinyCircuits' other products.

The power switch is on the top of the TV.

Included with the TV is a small, functional, wireless, black remote control that controls all the TV’s functions. It works perfectly.

The vibrant, high-resolution IPS display is a miniature video marvel.

Using a USB Type-C cable (not included) you can transfer videos. The TV has up to 10 hours of storage.

It has a built-in battery that is rechargable by using the USB cable attached to a wall socket adapter or by plugging into your computer.

The TV and remote come packaged in a hanger box with an open front panel allowing you to see the TV and remote.

Both the TV and remote fit snugly into a white plastic inner sleeve covered by a slip-over, clear plastic top protecting them.

Included with the TinyTV 2 is a small card with a QR code that you can scan for instructions on how to download other videos. You can also visit the website at: https://tinytv.us/.

What an awesome product. As soon as I got it I took to a neighbor of mine who is really big on miniatures. He was amazed and you will be too.

Proverbs 30:5 - Every word of God is pure: he is a shield unto them that put their trust in him.

Mini-Fan


Sometimes when I’m reading a book, writing, working on my computer, lounging outside enjoying the weather or sitting in my car a comfortable cool breeze would work wonders.

The only problem is that most fans need to be plugged into a wall power receptacle, tend to put out too much air and can be noisy.

Dollar Tree’s Mini-Fan stands just under six inches tall, runs on two AA batteries, churns out a comfortable small breeze via its three fan-blades and tilts up and down on its sturdy plastic stand.

It’s portable, quiet, comes in several colors and can also be used to circulate warm air when the temperature gets a little chilly.

Easy to set-up and to put batteries in the Mini-Fan delivers big value at only $1.25!

"He has told you, O man, what is good; and what does the Lord require of you but to do justice, and to love kindness, and to walk humbly with your God?" — Micah 6:8

USB Mini Vacuum Cleaner


Computers-ya gotta luv ‘em! Laptop, desktop or tablet-they are all marvels of modern technology and they have the tendency to get dusty keyboards, vents and hard to clean places.

Dollar Tree has the perfect solution with its USB Mini Vacuum Cleaner.

This adorable, tiny device plugs into any USB port that supplies power. It’s long cord makes it easy to reach all around your desktop computer and with a handy power adapter for a wall socket you can even use the vacuum wherever there is a power supply.

How about those hard to reach nooks and crannies in your car or other small hidden places that accumulate duct-viola! you’re covered!

Measuring roughly six inches long the USB Mini Vacuum Cleaner is not powerful but it has enough of a pull to clean most keyboards and other small areas.

The Vacuum’s nozzle comes off when you push the button on the top next to the on and off switch. A little filter detaches for cleaning.

I bought one for my computers but I plan on buying another to keep in my car.

For a mere $1.25 this little gem is cute, nicely designed and perfect for those ‘little’ messes.

LED Tracing Pad



While my wife was shopping a the local T.J. Maxx I popped into the local Five Below.

I stopped by the art supply department and my eyes immediately spotted the Digital Essentials’ USB Powered LED Tracing Pad.

For a mere five bucks I purchased a 5.8 inch by 8.3 inch Tracing Pad that delivers plenty of light.

Light tables/tracing pads tend to cost big bucks but this little LED Tracing Pad is perfect for whenever you need to trace artwork or photos.

It provides plenty of light and its thin and light design makes it easy to store in a laptop bag or in a drawer..

It’s as simple as plug and use!

USB Laptop Light



I love gadgets and at Dollar Tree I find all sorts of fun goodies.

My latest acquisition is e-circuit’s USB Laptop Light.

This handy little device pops into your laptop’s (or any computer) USB post and BINGO! you have instant light.

The flexible designed light boasts 14 Bright LED equal to 60 Lumens.

It makes for a handy little device when you need some extra light while working on your laptop or computer..

The LEDs are housed behind a slick and slim translucent white teardrop of plastic attached at the end of the flexible rod. 

 It measures about one foot long, which is plenty long enough to poke over your laptop screen or light the keyboard of your computer. 

 And it only costs $1,25!
