The fuzzy picture looks like it might be a Sonora reproducer.... should be an Orthophonic.

The front should look like one of these, depending on whether the hardware on a particular model is gold or nickel plated. (There are rare early all brass ones with fewer holes on the front, but they are not often encountered and are fairly valuable.) The plating is often flaking off because the metal underneath is pot metal, which does not hold the plating well.

It certainly looked like neither version pictured in the two posts.
Thanks guys. My wife would have been less than pleased had I brought it home then had to hunt a bunch of parts to make it right thereby driving up the price of what I had intended, and said I was, to spend.
