On the Market

I have one of these radios. They also take an adapter for AC power. They are a little noisy and there is a bit of hum in the sound. The noisy part is with the spring. But outside of my stereo system it has the best FM reception in the house. Other radio's I have can't even think of getting stations I routinely get with this radio. I assume that the Short-wave is just as good. This is a good deal. I also have a set of the new(old) Russian made dynamo flash lights. They work great.

Found:

Radio derives its energy from a small wind up generator located on the side of the radio. One minute of wind up produces 40 minutes of AM, FM and short wave playing time.

FreePlay products use wind-up technology. One item that struck me as useful was the large yellow flashlight which needs 30 seconds of winding up to be used for 2-3 hours. The power generated can also be used to power other equipment.
