Thirty bucks!! Can't wait to try it in my '31 Style 0. It was on EBay about a month and a half ago and I was out bid at the very last second (sold for $77!). The guy backed out apparently and I noticed it back up for auction. I contacted the seller and offers to buy it for what my max bid was on it before ($75!) but before we could work it out, someone placed a $10 bid on it so it was no longer an option. I'm absolutely chuffed (did I use that right?)! Looks to be in great shape. The black squiggly line is a drip of black paint from where someone tried to paint the (original) biscuit. My apologies if I was bidding against any forum members! Vintage Nat cone and Biscuit |

Yes, chuffed is right! Must have had your name on it!

You need to thank my wife for me backing off. I made the first bid, and with plenty in my PayPal account said to myself why do I need to have another piece of guitar paraphernalia hanging around... All of my reo's sound great now anyway.

Thanks to your wife! I had actually bid up to $75 the last time it was on Ebay. I entered my bid with 5 seconds to go (the max bid at the time was like $35) but was outbid at the last second. I put a wrecked cone (that I formed back into decent shape) out of a '34 trojan in my '31 Stye 0 recently. Tho it has flashes of brilliance, it just doest quite sound right. Hoping this one is just a tad better!

I'm glad you got it. I have original cones in my vintage nationals. Also I recently had success (at least in my mind) in repairing a collapsed vintage cone with aluminum foil tape. I posted about it recently..
