No - but they have sent me instructions on how to use the cones with the Amaya which involves pulling up / raising the plastic tube and in some case, using adaptors. I have the PDF complete with pictures and will upload later on ths evening that melco has kindly provided. In my personal experience on my older Reds - the older madiera cones I have vibrate a lot. I have found the Isacord thread spools fit much better with less vibration out of the box - but then thread is very personal issue.

I've used their thread quite a bit and the Madiera cones (large ones) do not function well on my Amaya or XT.
