thewolf Posted October 18, 2007 Share Posted October 18, 2007 I have an opportunity to pick up an Empire 598 turntable. Any owners out there with 598 stories...good or bad. What should I look for when I inspect the table? Thanks, Gary Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Q-Man Posted October 18, 2007 Share Posted October 18, 2007 Great turntable in it's day. I bought one in 1974, they sold for $450.00 then. I just looked on ebay and there are two of them there, take a look. Just make sure that you can still buy a replacement belt for it. The belts last a long time, but thay do stretch.

thewolf Posted October 18, 2007 Author Share Posted October 18, 2007 Q-Man...Good point re: belt. Probably need to replace that off-the-bat. Found a few sources on-line ~$30. not too bad I guess. Probably need to replace the needle as well. Off to look for those. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
