Is this a model that has had it's legs cut off? It looks as though at one time it was a top of the line Sonora machine. Wooden tone arm, 2 reproducers, and the extra gauges.

Not mine, just curious.

I agree, the legs or lower portion of the machine is messing. A good clue is the position of the crank. It was probably a spectacular machine on spindly legs. Jerry

A friend gave me a similar (albeit much plainer) Sonora, also missing the legs that obviously should be there. I wish Sonora would have put model names on the ID tags!

Looks like the upper portion of a Sonora Jacobean Junior - De Luxe, AKA Lancaster.
