I was wondering about that too.
I'd heard of the French Sonora TVs from tvhistory.tv. Maybe they expanded into the US?

I have one of these and the chassis is unique as I recall.
I had to replace the Flyback in mine and it wasn't an RCA, also the tuner is a continuous slug and coil type not a turret or wafer. Last edited by Eric H; 07-31-2010 at 01:30 AM.

Well, I ended up being the high bidder on this one. I'm a bit nervous about "Isoldit" though. They never answered a question I had before the end of the auction. I've also requested a new invoice since I want to pick the set up rather than having it shipped. I haven't received that yet either.
Maybe I'm being impatient, but most sellers on Ebay respond very quickly. John

Later Sonora stuff I've seen would be a challenge to restore, as they were rather minimalist in circuit design--much like the infamous Muntz.
But that earlier set might have the full goods--including at least 3 pix IF stages.... Sonora was one brand IIRC that often made superhet table radios with no IF amplifier stage; the mixer stage outpoot transformered directly to the detector stage. This meant one less tube and socket--with assoc components, and one less IF can....but one more large resistor to take up the difference in the filament chain....I guess making a space heater was still cheaper than making a radio. Another corner-cutter company was DeWald...

 I have ran into a few sellers that were like that . Probably a pretty busy outfit , hope everything works out . By the feedback they have "134" , picking the set up is a great idea , you never know how well it would be packed ..... 46 bucks was a good deal
