The Talking Machine Forum — For All Antique Phonographs & Recordings

I've attached a picture of a grille. It was in repurposed by a previous owner in a Pathé I purchased. It does not match any of the pictures I have seen for the model XII Pathé grille. Does anyone know what make and/or model machine this belongs to?

Looks like a Sonora grille.

Thanks. Yes it does look like a Sonora, any idea of the model?

I believe that grille is from the Sonora "Minuet". I see a couple machines on Google images with the same grille and I think the Minuet is the closest match (it probably had some grille variations).

Yes, it is from a Sonora Minuet.

Thanks all. Now to work on obtaining an original for the Pathé.
