Got radios all over the house, a Sangean MMR-88, a GE Super Radio, a repro Grundig, and some others. One little Sony uses a single AA, lasts a good while. The Sangean has solar and a crank, plus a rechargeable battery, and even a flashlight. Lot of radio for about $50 and the sound, especially voice, is good.
Used to pick up old floor models when I was young. One Philco had electric tuning: a motor turned the dial to presets.
