Identifying a Sonora

by Lamoureaux10 » Mon Aug 16, 2010 2:31 am

Hello,

This player has been in my family for at least 25-30 years. It does not work. I'm just trying to identify what year and model it is. I'd like to try to get it restored and working so it isn't so sad looking. It was sitting in my grandparents garage for quite some time before I freed it.

Thank you,

Travis

It appears to be a similar size to the "baby grand", but the grille is a little different.
Apparently, sometimes Sonoras with have the model name printed on the underside of the cabinet, or the underside of the drawer, so it may be worth looking there.
