Sony Portable AM/FM Radio Black (ICF-38)
I use this Sony in my garage workshop.  It's a simple, nice sounding and loud workhorse.  It runs all weekend while I tinker and it gives remarkable sound (I'm a talk / sports radio junkie), good sensitivity and decent immunity from all the open electronics I have running.  You can't beat the price or the value.  I don't mind the manual tuning since I just leave it on one station 90% of the time.  Highly recommended.
