[Phono-L] Need a Diaphragm for a Columbia Vivatonal Reproducer

[Ron L]

That might work but it is not a Vivatonal diaphragm.  It looks like it has
more pleats than the Vivatonal and I think I see attachment areas for a
Spider.

He seems to accidentally describing them as HMV instead of Columbia. 
So, they are actually Viva-Tonal diaphragms.
