Yes, they will, and thanks. I'm hoping for some good used ones at a "good" price. If all else fails, then I'll go with buying new. Anyone have a "trashed" front wheel that has good cones?

If you have access to a Dremel tool, you can grind the cones.
Put a cordless drill in a vice for stability. Put an axl with the cone in the cordless drill. Spin the drill slowly while grinding the cone with a fine Dremel stone.
You can polish the new surface by spinning it in sand paper for a while.
