Victrola VTA-74 Eastwood II Black Turntable

Victrola VTA-74-BLK-INT Eastwood II Black Turntable — Vintage Style Meets Modern Wireless Vinyl Playback

The Victrola VTA-74-BLK-INT Eastwood II Black is a home turntable designed for listeners who want the warm ritual of vinyl without sacrificing modern convenience. This belt-driven 3-speed record player handles 33 1/3, 45, and 78 RPM discs, covering everything from modern LPs to vintage shellac 78s. Use Bluetooth 5.1 to stream music into the player from a phone, or send your records outward to any Bluetooth speaker using Vinyl Stream technology for room-filling sound.

How the Eastwood II Stands Out Among Entry-Level Turntables

Most models in this price range ship with ceramic cartridges that can wear grooves over time. Here, an Audio-Technica AT-3600LA moving-magnet cartridge with a carbon fiber cantilever tracks grooves more accurately and treats records more gently. You’ll find just one illuminated control knob, replacing a wall of switches, and this announces each mode audibly, so the player remains approachable even for first-time vinyl owners.

Drive, Speed, and Connectivity — Specs That Shape Listening

Under the hood is a belt-driven platter, magnetic cartridge, and dual-direction Bluetooth. Each element plays a key role in how quietly the motor runs, how faithfully the needle tracks the groove, and how easily it fits a modern home audio system.

• Drive: Belt Drive — motor vibration is absorbed by the belt, reducing noise transfer to the platter
• Speed: 33 1/3, 45, and 78 RPM — covers standard LPs, singles with the included 45 adapter, and vintage shellac records
• Enjoy the convenience of a moving-magnet Audio-Technica AT-3600LA cartridge with a replaceable stylus for easy maintenance and improved longevity of your vinyl collection.
• Bluetooth: Version 5.1 — stable wireless input from phones and output to external Bluetooth speakers
• Outputs: Bluetooth, 3.5 mm headphone, RCA — three ways to route audio to headphones, a stereo, or a wireless speaker

Who Should Choose the Eastwood II?

This model is the right choice for first-time vinyl owners and casual listeners seeking a simple, attractive all-in-one player without the complexity of a separates system. It fits well in small living rooms, bedrooms, and home offices where space is limited but style matters. Behind a soft fabric grille, built-in custom-tuned speakers provide room-filling sound, and Bluetooth input/output allow the unit to function as a source component for a larger hi-fi setup.

Victrola and the Eastwood II Story

Victrola has earned its reputation for turntables that unite retro looks with approachable technology. The original Eastwood established the hybrid concept — a compact desktop unit with built-in amplification and Bluetooth. In this second generation, you’ll see upgraded materials and a simplified single-knob interface. Choose from Black, Espresso, and Oak finishes, with overall measurements of 32.6 × 30.7 × 11.5 cm and a weight of 2.27 kg.
