I need a grill for my 1919 Sonora Elite, please help. Here I'm going to attach two pictures of my machine and a picture from the original manual that came with this machine so you can see the design of the grill, also I will add two picture of another machine I found online with the same grill design. The measurements are from top to bottom 10 ¾ inches and side to side 18 ⅜ inches. Thank you.

There's a website called Gramp's Treasures that has tons of new grills and a custom grill-making service courtesy of Tom Rutkowski (Gramps.) In fact, I ought to go there for my Amberola 30.
I'd say give him a try--the machine could stand finish work, so when you do that, you can finish the grill to match. Shellac is a cinch anyway to work with.

Thank you very much for the info. But I was hoping to find an original grill, it doesn't have to be perfect at all, I don't mind fix in it. If by any chance one of you guys have an spare grill and want to sell it, let me know. Thanks.

If you haven't found the grill yet there is one in the Roscoe Antique Mall in South Benoit Il. I took a picture.
