Wanted: motor for 1917 Sonora Imperial

Post by cheryla »

I’m looking for a lot of parts for a Sonora imperial. I need the motor, the piano hinge for the lid, two door hinges, and the screw that tightens the needle in the reproducer.

No, the motor is similar, but not the same. This is specifically for a Sonora Imperial. The markings on the motor are different.

Can you share with us what those marking would be?

I’ve got the motor apart and now I need a piano hinge and screws for the lid and screws and hinges for the doors.
The door hinge is 1.75 inches long and 1.573 inches wide
