I just stumbled onto this:
http://cgi.ebay.com/Beautiful-wood-turntable_W0QQitemZ170285399152QQcmdZViewItemQQptZVintage_Electronics_R2?hash=item170285399152&_trksid=p3286.c0.m14&_trkparms=66%3A2|65%3A1|39%3A1|240%3A1318 I'm pretty sure this is a Victor 10-35 cabinet. The seller doesn't say much about it, and there isn't much time to ask questions as the sale closes in 6 hours. There may be nothing inside it, but who knows. If anybody needs what looks like a fairly nice cabinet for a 10-35, you might at least get that for a song.

The electric motor was already gone though as was most of the original spring motor. Sooo, the questions are: 1. What is the original size (OD and diameter at the belt groove bottom) of the pulley on the spring motor. 2. Is this pulley very heavy for its size. 3. Should it have a cork lining to the pulley groove? 4. There is an oblong hole in the back plate to the right of the cut out for the horn neck. I suspect the on/off electrical switch was there but I am not sure. Has anyone seen a hole like this in their VIII? And on a separate note, I've been given a cylinder cabinet, a rather simple design with flat board shelves that have grooves in them into which one glues cardboard "pegs". Toilet paper and paper towel inner cardboard tubes are the right size, by the way. The hooks that keep the shelves from pulling all the way out are missing. Anyone have a source for replacement hooks. They are a rather critical component. Thanks, Ron L
