Subject: Re: [Phono-L] Sonora Tonalie part needed


An obvious misunderstanding. I had acquired a Victor Monarch Jr., that came 
with 
 Gibson (Sheet Metal type) traveling arm, that was missing the swivel pin, 
hich I needed in order to make it functional . Ken from Wisconsin, was the only 
ollector or supplier for that matter, that I was able to find that actually had 
 spare and he graciously sold it to me for a reasonable price. I never have 
wned a Gibson Phonograph. Is there any website where one of these rare Gibson's 
an be seen ?

ow, that is a tough one, an obscure late 20's Sonora phonograph, with an even 
re obscure extension for the crank . George Volema at Great Lakes may be your 
st bet. There is also a fellow in Wisconsin, who is an avid Phonograph 
llector, who has over the years managed to obtain, many odd and obscure parts 
 well. When I was looking for an odd rare part (the swivel pin) for a Gibson 
aveling Tone arm, he was the only one I could find in the entire U.S. 
onograph world that seemed to have one. When I come up with his name I will 
rward it to you.

bject: [Phono-L] Sonora Tonalie part needed 
hono List: 
I am looking for another "needle in a haystack" however, this group has 
ways helped. 
I had a motor repaired with new springs and apparently I misplaced or lost a 
rt! 
First of all, it is a Sonora floor model. On the underside of the lid it 
s: 
Tonalie sonora 
lear as a bell 
I think it is a late 20s model as it has a similar cabinet design as my 
ctor VV-8-35, thus my guess at the year. 
Any info on the machine in general? 
I am missing an "extension" for the crank which attaches to the motor 
nding shaft and, if I recall correctly, is about 4' to 6' in length. The 
ank threads on the extension allowing the crank to function the distance 
om the right cabinet wall to reach the motor. The extension part looked 
ke it was made from a wire or rod wound around to make the extension. 
So: 
Has anyone have an idea of what the *** I am trying to explain / describe? 
reover, anyone have one to part with? 
r a workable substitute. 
Thanks 
Bob
