WANTED: Polly Portable Instruction Disc
HELP - Does anyone have an original Brunswick Parisian or Polly Portable instruction disc or horn for sale? If you have one that is not for sale, would it be possible to have you scan it at high resolution (at least 300 dpi) so I can have a repro printed? Thanks for any help...

Re: WANTED: Polly Portable Instruction Disc
Hi Curt, you probably know the cleaned up copy on the Old Crank site: http://www.oldcrank.com/reference/polly ... index.html.
Also, I purchased a reprint from John Nagy: http://www.phonographs.org/store/d-208b ... -1218.html. Only problem with this is that is slightly smaller than the original and therefore a bit hard to read. As a plus it also has the back side with instructions in other languages.
If someone would be willing to provide a good scan of both the front and back side of the original instruction disc I would also appreciate it very much.
Thanks
Andreas
