An RCA Victor TV table, but what does it fit?

I picked this table up at ETF thinking it was for my 8TS30, but it's not....too narrow. It's not an exact fit for anything I have here. The label's partially scratched off so I can't tell what it is.

Dimensions of the table are 26" wide by about 18" deep by 19" high. I'm thinking it might be for a 630TS, but I'm not certain.

We have a similar table at our museum that fits an RCA T-100, and similar sets. Maybe yours is like that.

A quick measure of my 630TS says it's 26 wide and 18 deep (not including the mask which protrudes slightly).

Could be for a 630 but I could swear the 630 stands I've seen online have a lower shelf or at least bracing?

Edit: like this one, any evidence yours had a lower shelf at one time?

I measured an 8T243 (same chassis as the 241) and it's 20 deep x 23 wide, it also seems too heavy for that unreinforced table.

I wonder if this table could be for a record player? Without the lower bracing it seems too weak to hold any 40's TV set?

My recently acquired Dumont Doghouse is actually sitting on it at the moment. Not exactly a perfect fit, but it's up off the floor. Holding that just fine, weight wise, at least....

My Dumont table has a shelf too, like the one for the RCA 630. Watch out for all that weight!!!

The Dumont got switched to a nice sturdy end table. The RCA stand is gonna go up in the rafters of the garage for now.....unless I find someone that needs it, or find out what it goes to.
