Is that in one of the new editions? I still have my 1990 Hard cover edition, and can't seem to find a photo of the Gibson nor a discussion or reference to Gibson. Guess it is finally time to update to the new edition.

Re: [Phono-L] Sonora Tonalie part needed
Bob, If it's a straight line shot to the winding shaft from the crank hole, it shouldn't be hard to come up with an extension. Any machinist should be able to tap and thread a rod that would work. If it needs to be flexible, there are drill bit extensions that are made from a flexible spring like material, which may be able to be altered to work, since you only need a short piece. A machinist should be able to do that also...

I had a motor repaired with new springs and apparently I misplaced or lost a art! First of all, it is a Sonora floor model. On the underside of the lid it as: Tonalie sonora Clear as a bell I think it is a late 20s model as it has a similar cabinet design as my ictor VV-8-35, thus my guess at the year. Any info on the machine in general? I am missing an "extension" for the crank which attaches to the motor inding shaft and, if I recall correctly, is about 4' to 6' in length. The rank threads on the extension allowing the crank to function the distance rom the right cabinet wall to reach the motor. The extension part looked ike it was made from a wire or rod wound around to make the extension. So: Has anyone have an idea of what the *** I am trying to explain / describe? oreover, anyone have one to part with? Or a workable substitute.

Re: [Phono-L] Sonora Tonalie part needed
It sounds like it might be a tightly wound heavy spring material. If there is some slight misalignment between motor and crank hole, it would act like a cheap(?) universal joint to allow winding.
