Does anyone know if the cardboard cones for Guiniphones are still being made ? I know a while back new ones were available but I can't remember who was selling them .
Thanks

Sa me with me... cannot remember where I've seen replicas of these...
I have one in the American version, the Brunswick Parisian Portable, which is exactly the same machine except for the decal. Mine c came without the cone, so I made one in black cardboard, sized the maximum possible to be bent in three as the original and fit in the lid when plied. It's very big! !!
Somewhere in the web someone put a scanned copy of the original cardboard disc with the instructions, so it can be printed and replicated.
The original cardboard cone was dark green with coloured scenes featuring a vigorous colourful parrot...

A US board member made them for a while but he is no longer a member..

The Polly, Parisian and Guiniphone oscillators are all the same, except of the graphics. I could never find good quality Guinea graphics to use to replicate them. If anyone has high quality copies of the Guinea graphics (logo and panel scenes) let me know...
