Re: [Phono-L] Sonora bombe and record folders

I posted this query last month about restoring the record filing system in a Sonora Elite phonograph. Since then, I have learned that Sonora actually called it an "envelope filing system," and that I have everything I need, EXCEPT for some sort of little metal brackets (a pair, to be precise)

Re: [Phono-L] Sonora bombe and record folders

One more question: Like most wooden-arm Sonoras, this one comes with two reproducers, one for lateral-cut records, the other, it says, for vertical-cut and diamond discs. Could these really play diamond discs? If so, what kind of stylus would you need, and where would you get one? From:

The Victor P like the R uses green felt around the perimeter of the motorboard or bedplate. You are correct. It's purpose is to dampen the sound.The screws that hold the arm are oxidized, as is the. escutcheon and screws. The crank should be nickel plated. Please post your name so we know who

Re: [Phono-L] Sonora bombe and record folders

It looks like the brackets are flat plates with holes in them for the rods. If that is the case, can't you just make them? You would know the diameter of the rods. You probably know the size of the plates from outlines of the originals and you can probably map out the mounting holes from the

Re: [Phono-L] Sonora bombe and record folders

I have one around here somewhere, but would not recommend its use. If you have the room, I'd strongly recommend getting an Edison Diamond Disc phonograph. The sound will be much better and your records will be safe from damage. They turn up quite regularly around here at giveaway prices -
