Re: Sonora
I believe your Sonora is the "Imperial," as seen on p.14 of Wakeman's book on Sonora. The "Imperial" is also listed and priced through various years on P.236.

Agree. It sure looks like the Imperial --> The one you have is the version with the mahogany finish.

Re: Sonora
I bought one today. It has a corroded tonearm and dead grease in the springs, but it looks and sounds good.
