Eric H: Sonora's been around a long time. They began manufacturing wind-up phonos and phonograph records in the years following WWI. As I recall, Sonora also had a business connection with Jenson and the other guy who started Magnavox. The early Sonora record players were famous for esquite cabinetry and are highly prized by collectors. By the 1920's, they'd expanded their product line to include horn speakers and radios. You can probably gain some valuable insight if you can track down a copy of Alan Douglas' excellent trilogy, "Radio Manufacturers of the 1920's"
