Congratulations and welcome to the forum. Sonora made a range of models. I'm not sure what model you have, but it appears to be from the lower end of their line. Grills can be difficult to replace, but you need to establish the model before searching for the right one. Here is a great research tool. Good luck and remember to change the needle after every record is played. https://archive.org/details/talkingmachinewo24bill

Looks like the small square cased Sonora Trovatore.

George Vollema is likely to have a grill. Sorry, I don't have his contact info. Perhaps someone else can add that.
