SOLD: Sonora Elite? Phonograph bundle $175

Post by Jillnjeff »

Up for sale is my 1910s crank-powered phonograph by Sonora. I have tried to find the model name but as far as I can tell it’s an Elite. It needs some love but does play music with one of my many records. The phonograph, records, few needles I purchased and even a book phonographs are yours for $175. All I ask is that you love it!

Thanks for posting this. How about a full size pic of the entire cabinet?

I had to count and I have more than 50 records that come along with it.

Thanks for those pics. It does appear to be in good restorable condition. The price is a good buy for someone wanting a project and if I wasn't on the other side of the country in NC, I would buy it... You shouldn't have any problems finding a good home for it. I think it's a "Baby Grand" with a wooden tonearm... but your grill is slightly different than the one pictured in the ad. And your price is $5.00 less... ;) :lol:

Very reasonable price for this model with the wooden tone arm and extra reproducer. This should sell fast.
