Indeed, I once received a combined solar/wind-up radio for my birthday, which lived on the window-sill in our bathroom. A quick wind of the handle (45.5 turns) before leaping in the shower would result in enough loud music for 20 mins or so. Longer with lower volume. Amusingly we'd tend to let the winder expire rather than turn the radio off. Frequently we'd be sat downstairs later in the day and have the bejeezus scared out of us by voices from upstairs. Caused by the sun blazing through the window, waking the radio up via the gift of solar power. Fun fun. Cheers, Al. - Sent via the backstage.bbc.co.uk discussion group.
