Well, another one bites the dust....
Stopped by the shop today and notice the Sonora had a 'SOLD' tag on it.
So I commented to the owner, "hey I see you sold the radio". His response was "yeah !!!....... in pieces". He went on to explain that a lady wanted the cabinet, and struck a deal with another customer to purchase the guts.
I guess a guy needed the speaker for a restoration he was doing, and just took the rest of the guts too. The lady, I'm told had plans to paint the cabinet blue.
Ugh....
