Description
This unusual machine is a pigskin covered case. It is well worn from many years of use. Has several open corners with the pigskin lifting near most of the edges. As well as some swelling and warping of the wooden core. The top cover has a leather hinge which is torn away. The front of the case is missing its carrying handle but still has its original Sonora decal and suitcase latches. Has its original Sonora tone arm and reproducer which is brightly nickel plated. Moves freely however has evidence of a solder repair where the tone arm enters the speaking horn. Unusual concept with the tone arm speaking into the cover which reflects the sound outward as the cover acts as an amplifying horn. Has an original winding crank with the motor winding and running. A bit on the rough side but a very unusual machine. 11 1/2" L x 12"W x 10 3/4" H
