FOR SALE: Sonora baby grand and Edison - $400

Post by TNPhono »

Located in Johnson city, Tennessee. Must be picked up.

I will start with the bad from what I was told by the members
Both appear to have been refinished
The Sonora has the wrong grill
Both have the wrong material for the screens
Both show signs of age (scratches etc)

I am unsure of the years. last patent date I could find on Sonora was 1920, unsure on Edison

The Sonora I know plays sounds great to me but I am unfamiliar with exactly what these should sound like, feel free to message me and I will give you my number to call and listen if that helps?

The Edison seems to work as well but I assume there is a thicker deep grooved disk that it needs?

reduced to $400 for the pair
Thank you.

Was told Edison is probably 1919-1927

Yes: that's the period when the S-19 was in production.

As this one has the drop-down door, it's a fairly early example: the later versions had a side-hinged door.

It's that dreaded word "refinished" that is scaring us collectors away :roll:

Yeah lol sometimes buying without knowledge you get bit. but if it comes down to losing money or just keeping them I'll just keep them for a while from what I found someone is always out there willing to buy eventually.

The Edison is also missing the record storage slats in the compartment.
