Sonora B33
#1

reybo Wrote:On another topic, does anyone recognize this AM chassis? It's in a Sonora Model B33 console, and I was told can be found in the oldest Rider volume on page 2192, which I don't have. The chassis has no name or hint of maker. The eight tubes are a CX-380, two CX-345s, a C-327, and four C-324s.

Gorgeous cabinet. The only old radio we ever had that my wife insisted we keep.

The Sonora B33 can be found in Rider's volume I, Sonora page 1-6.

Thanks. Sonora didn't make radio chassis, from what I can find. Does anyone recognize the work of a radio manufacturer there, someone who would have sold to independent cabinet makers?
