How much weight can it hold....

Hm, I think the Avante has a thinner top than most other consoles of the time, but 35 pounds still isn't much. What I would do is use a piece of 3/4" plywood between the Avante and the VCR to distribute the weight more evenly and prevent warping, with something underneath to avoid scratching up the cabinet of course.

I've thought about doing that too. I've just used a folded over bath towel to prevent scratching and that's what works for me.
