I have several from Freeplay, including some of the original Baygen coil spring powered models, but this model of their dynamo powered ones is great.
Mine is a slightly older one, without a flashlight built in.

Most of the Dynamo Powered Radios I've found don't have a very sensitive tuner and need to be cranked while they're being listened to if the AAs are depleted. I have a Grundig FR-200 that has worked fairly well for several years but the tuner drifts off frequency occasionally. If I was starting over on the purchase I would get a better quality radio with a digital tuner. With a good portable solar charger and spare rechargeable AAs you'd have plenty of juice to keep your radio going in an emergency.
Regarding Dynamo Powered Radios, I would recommend these two.
C.Crane Observer wind-up emergency radio
Eton Grundig FR-200
