It looks very nice in mahogany and with that cabinet it's doubly so!

The music cabinet my Victor IV sits on was made by Udell Works. I bought this lovely cabinet at an antique store for $75.

I think that is for sheet music by the direction the door opens!
Thanks Eric

Thanks James,
It's kinda strange seeing a machine in such nice original condition! Only problem is i have room for the VV VI but not the console! :shock:

Yup it's a c1905-1910 music cabinet not a phono stand--but the machine fits on top perfectly so it's become a de-facto phono stand. Non-invasive multipurposing lol
And I do store sheet music in it, along with records and accessories of course.

Your cabinet and machine are lovely --mahogany is so luxurious looking!

Yup, Eric, that's the way!
Btw what brand/model of machine is that? Kinda looks like a Columbia-related brand.
It's very cool.
