I've had a few of these Chinese radios -- one was even labeled Grundig, and it had the little dynamo crank that charged anemic ni-cads.

None have been worth using as a radio, they are un-listenable. The Grundig had a built in flashlight, and in the days before LED flashlights, I actually made use of that radio once in an emergency to shed light on a tire-changing operation. But not the radio.

I find the audio so bad, so flat, that after mere moments I need to turn it off.

Now when I see them at swaps or estate sales, I don't even give them a 2nd look.

Last weekend I did fine a rather handsome early Sony transistor (turned out to be a rather rare bird), and a Realtone space capsule radio. Neither of these would have great audio either, but both have historical and visual appeal.
