Sonora phonograph with curvy lines
Trying to identify and possibly sell my Sonora. I have never really been able to identify which model I own, and admittedly she needs some love. Anyone know anything about 1910s Sonora machines?

I have maybe 50 records and some soft needles but i know she has some speed/timing issues. I want her to go to someone who will love her as I do. Or perhaps I’ll try and find her a corner...

If it has the little parts drawer at the bottom of the record storage area, slide it out and check the underside. Some Sonoras have the model stenciled there.

There is a small placard with writing on it under the record storage area but it’s indecipherable

You have a baby grand with a wood tone arm which is an expensive option. Search the auction sites for sale prices. Good luck with your sale.

This was already discussed under this thread: viewtopic.php?f=9&t=47797
