I picked one of these up at Goodwill for $15 and cranking it a bit will get the radio working for minute or so. Works great on batteries. I pulled the 2/3 AA NiMH battery pack (3 cells) and it says 600mAH and it was dead. I tried charging it a bit at C/10 with a bench power supply without any luck. Still less than 1V for the entire pack.
I was thinking - perhaps if I used some low discharge eneloops in the main battery compartment and swapped the leads so that they are the "battery pack" and could be charged from the and crank too.
Has anyone else done mods for this radio?
