Empire 208 turntable


Is this a worthwhile investment at $500? belt is new as is cart. Tonearm in fine condition although I've read it's best change it. Mechanically in excellent shape. Cosmetically fine. Just wondering wondering what the concensus is about this table.

I recently purchased one from an antique store in my town for $225.00. It was really taken good care of. The tonearm is very limited on what cart you can use. I replaced the original arm with a Jelco SA-750D. I am very happy with the outcome. The Jelco arm is kinda clunky like the TT so they make a good match visually and sonically. If you pay $500.00 for yours it mite not be cost effective to put a new arm on it at the Jelco's price level anyway...
