Also, this radio contained some amazing self-generating batteries. They
never ran low, despite the fact that there was no AC plug available for
charging purposes, nor did it have any type of crank-based charging
mechanism. It's possible that the batteries might have been the product of a
secret military cold-war era attempt at attaining a self-sustaining,
zero-point energy equilibrium.
Sorry to burst your bubble about the batteries, but I remember seeing
some episodes where Gilligan was pedalling a stationary bicycle of sorts
which was generating power. They probably used that to recharge the
batteries. (I presume they were able to salvage the generator from the
SS Minnow's engines.)
