Nice setup, Les!

I have a Grundig just like yours, only with a bright yellow casing. Aside from having to be careful with the plastic winder (I could see it breaking under heavy/overzealous cranking) it's a solid little gadget.

I also have a wonderful pocket SW radio, (analog Realistic DX-342) for that runs forever on AAs.

It' too bad they don't make 'em anymore.
