A while ago, I bought a VV-VIII & almost matching stand, from a nearby neighbor. The stand is oak and odd - bulging in 3 directions, with Victrola-like legs and lighter arched panels on the doors (I'm not sure if it's all oak) . However, it also has 'cut outs' at the corners on top, obviously meant to hold the 4 feet of ...something. My Amberola V can almost fit its feet in the depressions, but not quite.
This cabinet also has no shelves, but does have panels inside with multiple, closely spaced, THIN horizontal slots which aren't obviously meant for strong record-holding shelves - the slots are less than ¼", which would make some pretty delicate shelving.
I'm wondering if any VV-IX owners might favor me with the distance between the inside edges , across the front & sides, of their machines' feet. 16 ¾ front-to-back and 13 ⅛ side-to-side are the distances of the indentations

Is it a cash register or business machine stand? It sounds like it was made to store papers of some kind... how about posting pics?

Sounds like it might be for a disc music box.

Awfully close, if not exactly! I will take a couple of pics, when the sun is around that side of the house.
