I have the same Empire 208 in my collection! And three other ones! Great TT's! All have the original arms. An easy recommendation is the venerable Denon 103 and 103R. For the money (about $300) can't be beat! A truly fine sounding mc cartridge from the Golden Age of Hi Fi! A long-time favorite of Art Dudley of Stereophile! The conical stylus makes setting the SRA easier than a line- contact. And sounds just fine - regardless of what the naysayers think!
