Just got a Sony ICF-F10. Haven't had time to make serious tests, but I'm more than impressed. Good natural sound, simple to operate. Seems more sensitive than expected, both bands are full of listenable signals. Surprised at how good FM music sounds.
At $13 this could be the best value in radios right now. If you need a workhorse for the garage or the yard, I don't see how it can be beat.

Not sure where the ICF-J40 can be found - amazon Japan does not carry it!

Appears to be made for the Middle East market, and discontinued as of 2009
