Advantages: Requires no batterys. Disadvantages: Large, chunky and reception not great.
Wind up radio's have been around for a little while now, but no large electronics coorperation has tried to launch their own model, untill now! Phillips basicly have used the original wind up technology, but have modified it slightly to get round the original pattent.
The Radio looks nice, but feels slightly cheap. It has AM/FM reception which works well. Tuning is made easy with a tuning nob on the side. The wind up 'winder' is positioned on the front of the radio, this unfortunatly make the radio difficult to fit in a case, or stand up. A breif wind will give about 40mins of play. Towards the end of this time, i noticed that reception suffered.
The radio comes with a nice rubber carry strap on the back, and overall is not bad. A good attempt by Phillips!
This little gem can be found at your local electrical retailer ...
Advantages: Autonomy,sound quality,AM and FM Disadvantages: None
I RADIATE PHILIPS-MODEL AE 160 This philips radio has a good sound.You have AM and FM. You have tone control.Connection for headphones. You also work with AC, incorporate 220voltios. But the best in this radio is your great autonomy. The batteries 2 R20. You take two batteries of the big ones. But they last months (alkaline). Depending on the use. You have a great speaker that give one good soung quality. Your price in Spain is of 24?. You are analogical. The dial is plastic slipping, you don't break. You have antenna telescopic for FM. And antenna of ferrite for AM. You weigh a little. It can catch with a single hand. The front part is metallic (the grill). THE BEST THING: The great autonomy of the batteries. Governable. And good sound.

So I'm sat here in my room at my halls of residence playing on my acoustic electric guitar, when it hit me..."could I review this on Ciao?"...yes, I could!!
Applause Guitars are the younger brother of guitar manufacturers Ovation, who have been making trustworthy guitars for over 30 years now, and here have used this experience to make a guitar that doesn't sound like a guitar that is as cheap as this, but is a high-quality product.
My model number is actually the AE 28, rather than the 64, but trust me, from what I know about Ovations and what else I can work out, there are no differences here except the numbers!
I brought it in November last year from a local music retailers, who I purchased my two other guitars (both electric), so trusted them fully when they recommended me this offering, and they've not let me down ...
