Sonora Invincible cabinet only
I have never imagined that someone would remove the mechanism from a high end Sonora, but that's what I found on eBay. https://www.ebay.com/itm/174627764901

Re: Sonora Invincible cabinet only
Hard to imagine, unless the motor was removed for service and the owner died before getting it back together...
The price seems steep, since finding all of the original parts may not be possible...

Re: Sonora Invincible cabinet only
I own a complete Invincible so if you need any images or measurements feel free to send me a PM. Best of luck finding the missing parts.

Bought and paid for it to find out the guy selling it never updated his address on ebay, item is actually in TN, not NY as the listing stated. Had to cancel and get refund. To bad, was looking forward to the challenge.

This may have been a lucky break, considering the chances of finding the correct parts.Jonsheff wrote: Thu Feb 11, 2021 10:57 pm Bought and paid for it to find out the guy selling it never updated his address on ebay, item is actually in TN, not NY as the listing stated.
