>>1823568The older Freeplay Clockwork radios were hard to beat. Crank it 40 times and it would run for 30-45 minutes and had good reception. In the sun they would run indefinitely without having to worry about the radio melting from the sun heat.
Then they started putting batteries in them and they started sucking from there.
Now they make cheap kill your arm direct dynamo radios like half of China does.
