The Talking Machine Forum — For All Antique Phonographs & Recordings

I inherited a Sonora portable wind-up phonograph recently. I dont know the model name or number, but I attached a picture of one just like it. I need three (so far) replacement parts, as shown in the other picture: the ¼” slip ring that holds the platter on the spindle, the metal grate that goes on the back of the tone-arm head, and the insert that the needle holder attaches to. You can tell I’m new to this, as I don’t know the name of that part.

Can anyone recommend some websites or individuals who might have these parts?

Is it likely that I’ll end up having to buy a whole new tone arm?

Thanks!

Have you tried George Vollema?

I will right now, thank you!
