How about a battery power AM / FM radio?


Sorry, full price.


So you have a radio that works with no electricity. How does that work?
Considering that radio signals themselves are electric fields, you'd
need a new kind of broadcasting.

In 1947, the family of the late GREAT Carl Perkins moved into a house
with an electrical system. Carl saved up a month's wages and bought an
electrical radio. Before that, he couldn't listen much because his
radio ran on expensive chemical packs (leaky alkalines or something).
