The Music Box was first located in "The Marketplace", an area at the south end of Victoria St where "the Outback" now stands. It later moved to 113 Alexandra Street, near the corner of Collingwood St.
The Music Box sold second-hand vinyl, tapes and CDs. The owner of the Music Box had a reputation as being a bit miserly; nearly every record in the store was inevitably labelled as a "rarity" and as being in "excellent condition".

It was relocated to Napier in the early 2000s.
