A few years ago there was someone in Europe making reproductions. They had a lot of flower designs on them, don't have the person's email anymore. -Bary Ron L'Herault wrote: I don't know.

Re: [Phono-L] Paper cone for Polly Portable
If you're thinking about a replacement onetry some poster board. Use black or some other bland color and trace your old cone. I did this once and it works fine. Dennis ___ Phono-L mailing list http://phono-l.oldcrank.org

Re: [Phono-L] Paper cone for Polly Portable
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. - Original Message - From: Chris Kocsis chris...@cox.net To: Antique Phonograph List phono-l@oldcrank.org Sent: Wednesday, September 09, 2009 10:20 PM Subject: Re: [Phono-L] Paper cone for Polly Portable Thank you Ron, that is splendid suggestion.
