Greetings! I picked up a BayGen Freeplay made in South Africa about 2
years ago at our local Big Lots Store, discount store, for $30 out of
curiosity. This one looks to be made for the American market and has
no model number on it. MW, FM, and SW from 3.3 to 12 mhz. Fifty turns
gets you 30 minutes. It loves local stations, but with the addition of
a long wire it does a decent job without the typical nasty overload
problems. The most agravating thing is the grinding hum while it is
playing. You can give it 3-9 volts with a walwart and avoid the hum.
It looks like a lunch box and is way too heavy to be practical for
camping etc. So, needless to say it doesn't get much play time even if
the power is off. I would love to add solar cells to it to run off
while I am outside at the picnic table listening. Have a great
weekend! Jon.
