Comment by bemuzic on February 7, 2012 at 2:47am: ah, perhaps just as well you didn't win that one..good luck with the transistor!

Comment by Dianne Woods on February 7, 2012 at 2:39am: Hey, No, I lost the bid by one dollar. I had my hand on the keys trying to enter another figure when the time ran out. It was a nice vintage radio, rare, but not cordless. I am bidding on a small transitor which is not real vintage, just made to look like it, but cordless. I hope I win this one, I love the colors.

Comment by bemuzic on February 6, 2012 at 10:30pm: no worries..did you win that third radio you were watching? Was that one cordless?

Comment by Dianne Woods on February 6, 2012 at 9:37pm: Sorry Belinda, for the confusion on my side. You know I am a Southerner, from S Ga.

Comment by bemuzic on February 6, 2012 at 9:08pm: lol, don't add further confusion into it Chris!

Dianne, I actually Googled it and thought it was this http://www.theoldradiofixerupperguy.com/dial%20cord.html but right you just meant a cord to plug it in!! So they run off the mains...I wouldn't dare do those myself : -/

Comment by BUGGY (C) on February 6, 2012 at 12:56pm: Hey... Chords are what we all had on in the 70's!! and flared!!

Comment by Dianne Woods on February 6, 2012 at 12:51pm: Thanks Belinda and Dan for straightening me out. I had the address wrong, that sounds just like me.

Belinda, what are u talking bout----you don't know what cords are? Really, cords are wired to the radios so you can plug them in for electricity. If you are pulling my leg, I really fell for it.My leg just fell off!!!!!!

Comment by bemuzic on February 6, 2012 at 12:32pm: oh yes Dianne you've added guitar in into the address!

Comment by Dan on February 6, 2012 at 12:16pm: Dianne, the correct web address is

http://www.cigarboxnation.com

Comment by bemuzic on February 6, 2012 at 12:11pm: Dianne, I have NO idea how/why that is happening??!...and I've now Googled cords to see what you meant. Mine didn't have cords. Are they bad???
