Empire Turntables New in Box-Worth Anything?


I just found out that the guy I am friends with-his father- owned Empire Scientific in Grden City, NY.
What gear should I look for and what do you think it is worth if new in a box over used gear...
I know he has carts, tables, and arms.

Thanks for your help.

Eldartford, I would have to agree with you about spring loading. I bet you never thought you would hear that. After abandoning a Garrard 301 in the '70s, I am back with one again. I have an adaptator of the old Ortofon 12" arm which use spring loading.

Since I have never heard such good vinyl sound, I would have to partially attribute it to the spring loading. I did have friends with Empire turntables in the 70s, however, and must say I was never tempted to buy one.
