Subject: Series Owners - New Use for PTO

All Series owners:
There is a report that a South African company has started making radios
called Freeplay that do not require batteries, but will play after you turn=

a crank for a while. Now that seems a good use for the rear or center PTO -=

I assume your front PTO is already used for the capstan winch. If there is=

enough interest, I could get a local company to build the reduction gear and=

drivewheel needed for the radio. The report says the radio weighs six
pounds, is built like an overstuffed lunchbox and has a tinny (they probably=

mean galvanized) speaker. The ideal accessory for our beloved vehicle! The=

radio has shortwave, too, so you could listen to the BBC wherever you are.=

Apparently Harrod=B4s sells them for 80 GBP each, so it is as expensive as=

everything else for our cars. If you are interested in the idea, e-mail me=

directly, please.

Wonder if they will start making a GPS system with a crank, too?

Good rovering
