The Talking Machine Forum — For All Antique Phonographs & Recordings

My 1916 Sonora Invincible does not have a cover for the used needle cup. I'm looking for a gold one.

can anyone provide a picture of this needle cup so forum members can look through their parts and possibly help audiophile out..

Blizz,
This may or may not be helpful. I have a nickel plated Sonora needle cup listed on eBay right now. This one is for an Elite. It may (or may not) be the style audiophile102 is looking for. Definitely not the same plating. http://www.ebay.com/itm/181891464074?ss ... 1555.l2649

Measurements available upon request. Not sure if this helps, but its all I have that might be helpful.

I'm going to ask Roger Merenkov if your cup cap an be painted to look gold like my trim. If he can do it, I will want to buy it. Thanks!

I ran it passed Roger Merenkov who is an expert on all things phonograph. He advised me to pass on it. Thanks anyway!
