Founded some 15 years ago by a bloke called Corey Lieblein, Innovative Technology is a company that started out small, with a rather modest roster of products counting only—1. Talk about a one trick pony, huh! Its times of “single-productness”, so to speak, were about to change, however, as its plucky team set off to work in an illustrious effort to launch the business further into the murky waters of the global market. Nowadays, the company has branched out to more than 10 different countries, and counts over 300 various electronic products for this and that!

Throughout their short existence on the market, the folks at Innovative Technology have had a goal to reach, and it pretty much consisted of making the best cutting-edge products that can compete with some of the well-established businesses, and organizing a customer support that will prove to its customers that it’s serious about what it makes. So far so good, we'd say, and if you'd like to learn more about this business, check out its official website and also, maybe create an account.

As for its 8-in-1 beast of a vintage-looking (and we imagine—smelling!) turntable, it's a proper treat for anyone who's into retro style and some good music! (We meant good, wooden kind of smell, by the way.) That's right; possessing three different speeds of reproduction and offering a Bluetooth-based data transfer system, this cheeky little model may look like it came straight from the 1920s, but it sure acts like a modern-day contraption.

The list of features for the Innovative Technology's Victrola Vintage Turntable:

• Bluetooth connectivity
• Plays at three different speeds
• Can record directly to a USB device
• Comes with a built-in CD
• AM/FM radio-enabled

All in all, a curious piece of design coming our way from the Innovative Technology engineers. This Victrola contraption enables you to not only play your favorite vinyl records, but also putter about with radios, USB cables, and other wonders of modern technology! Add to that the retro design and you've got yourself a proper mantel-top masterpiece! Oh, and did we mention that this device comes in five color options? Choose from black, white, espresso, mahogany, and oak!
