Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I loved this little device!I'm a baseball fan and used this on nearly a daily basis, since April, carrying it from room to room in the evenings.I'd wind up my radio, pull up a chair and let the scene unfold before me as told though the poetic musings of Vin Scully and his beloved Dodgers, each broadcast the elocutionary equivalent of a Norman Rockwell masterpiece.
Last night, after 4 months of solid use, the plastic handle of the charging crank snapped right off.I wasn't turning the crank particularly hard.I don't suppose this device was engineered for as regular use as I put it through.It's probably perfect as a storeaway for emergenices type use.In any case It's cheap enough that I won't hesitate in buying another.
One other small reservation, and again it would only seem to be an issue in the case of heavy use:The plastic body casing seemed to regularly buckle ever so slightly during cranking, so much so that I figured the case might eventually crack open due to wear before anything else would go wrong.Also when gripping the unit for cranking it's difficult not to mash (and turn) the control dials during the act of cranking.On my unit the light switch seems to be spring loaded and switches and locks itself into the on and off positions.It was very common for the light to activate due to incidental squeeze pressure during cranking, then the switch failing to 'catch' when pressing the button to turn off, leaving the light stuck on 'on', only turning off finally after multiple forceful presses.
Again I never expected to enjoy this little gadget as much as I did.As a kid, another L.A. radio icon, Dr. Demento would open each show with his signature schtick: "Wind up your radios boys and girls...!".I never had a wind up radio until now.
