SOLD: Sonora Period Chippendale Windup Phonograph
So, I have an extremely nice, all original, complete Sonora Period Chippendale Model. It plays beautifully and would make a nice piece for any collector. This is really a nice machine!!

For what it's worth, I owned this machine and sold it to a forum member to make room for an Edison C-2. While i do not regret selling the Sonora, it's cabinet is in nearly perfect condition. The turntable needs a recovering job as you can see from the photos the rest of the machine is in wonderful condition.
I bought the machine from the son of the individuals that bought it new, here in Arizona. The family owned a very large home in the hills of San Francisco and a picture that the son had showed it in the parlor of a very well decorated home. The family moved here when this gentlemen s father got involved in mining in Globe AZ. That's were I bought it.
I have not sold many machines over my period of collecting and if I had more space I never would have sold it.
I hope it goes to a good home its that kind of machine!@

It’s a beautiful machine—I’m really a fan of Sonoras.
