Maybe try a very thinned-out mix of shellac, so it isn't too obvious.
Somebody must have slopped thick shellac on my Pathe paper cone, because
it's heavy & stiff as Heck and makes hardly any sound at all.

Thank you Ron, that is splendid suggestion. If I decide to sell the
player, would that affect the value?

I just bought a Polly Portable Phonograph in good condition, but the
paper cone "speaker" is rather worn and doesn't hold together very well.
It's also lost a lot of stiffness, which I assume is necessary for best
performance. Does anyone make a replacement or know of a spare?
Best,
Chris
