Sonora on Craigslist

[VintageTechnologies]

Here's my very 1st phonograph that I ever bought in the Bombay style cabinet. Sonora Elite with the wood tone arm. It also has the Pathé style reproducer. She's the reason I now have a dozen machines in my collections.

A nice machine. These Sonoras with bombe-style cabinets are the ones that seem to get the most attention. They really stand out from run-of-the-mill phonographs.

I and another collector joke that the curvey Sonora reminds us of a big busty opera singer puffing up to sing a loud aria.

I believe they have been referred to as the May West model. Yup, I'm beginning to see a trend here.
