Recomended wind up solar radio

[classic33]

Bet that was £59.99 last week.

Wouldn't surprise me if it was.

That's the one I ended up ordering after comparing quite a few on Amazon.
I wanted one that takes batteries as well as wind up power, I think this one takes USB charging too, and of course solar.
It's German technology, shipped from Germany, that sold me it!
I figured it could double to a music player for when I'm out of reach of Wi-Fi or don't want to use my phone's battery.
I notice this radio is now over £50.
I paid, from the same outlet, £ 35.73 on Sunday 25 October, 2 days ago.

This looks remarkably the same for £31 albeit only in Orange

I was thinking about this yesterday.
As a child I had Six-Million Dollar Man doll that came with space backpack that doubled as a radio.
You clipped a cable to a long wire, such as a fence, and then put in an ear-peace.
You then pulled the antenna up and down to tune into a frequency.
No batteries required - maybe there’s a business opportunity there.

On different thought process I started looking for secondhand rollers and Googling “How to ride on rollers.”
My thought process was that riding the bike on rollers using dynamo to charge battery pack was a lot more appealing that hand-cranking a radio. May have just been looking for an excuse to but rollers!
