Nasty wind-up clock radio whose DC generator had failed, torn down for our delight. Dispite my best efforts, this contraption refused to die.

    When you ripped it open like that I laughed so hard my sides hurt. That was great

    Hmmm the Bush name says it all, a guarantee for inferior quality garbage.  That really is quite disgusting and a lesson in manufacturing something to fail.

    ROFL, seeing the way that radio was built, makes my stomach turn. That is a typical Chinese made radio. Gone are the days of the high quality Japanese electronic devices. This day and age allot of stuff is built with the intention of throwing it away sadly. :/

    I'm just wondering, have you seen them 3 way extension leads at poundland  it would be good to see them safety tested.

    You had me in stitches throughout this video! 🙂 Love your sense of curiosity and humor! On the one hand, I might have tried to salvage some of the parts of this thing, but there really is no point in it if it's just going to take up space.
    Cheers from Chicago.
