Both machines look refinished and the Sonora has the incorrect grill.

The Sonora appears to be a Baby Grand. As Sean stated it does not have the original grill and looks refinished with the Sonora logo covered or removed from the lid.

Yes I found that one before but was unable to see a price a lot of the prices I found where over 1000 and I figured that seemed High so I priced accordingly. Are these prices outrageous?

Re: Craiglist Tri cities TN -Sonora and Edison
I don't have the experience most of these guys and gals have, but they don't look too out of line. The Sonora seems a little high since the grill is going to have to be replaced to make it look more original. If I didn't live at the opposite end of the state near Memphis, I'd be considering the Sonora! I do not have one and I love the styling of the bombe cabinet.

Well I figured people would hit me with counter offers etc and id settle for like $500 for the pair or something. Yeah the farthest I head west is knoxville on occasion.

Re: Craiglist Tri cities TN -Sonora and Edison
The grille cloth, especially on the Sonora, is so far off base as to be off-putting, albeit something easily remedied. The big issue would be trying to find a correct grille.

Re: Craiglist Tri cities TN -Sonora and Edison
Just realized I never confirmed the age of these machines with you guys. The patent paper under the drawer of the Sonora has patent dates up to 1920, no idea on Edison.
Sorry just want to make sure I have it right, I mean people here can spot one and know everything they need to, but I don't want to cheat anyone on craigslist.

Re: Admin can delete posting
It appears that your Edison is a Sheraton without inlay ("sans inlay"), which came out in 1919. According to Frow, it was available from then until August 1927.
