Hi everyone,
I'm Thomas and after reading this forum for a while I've joined. I am the original owner of an Empire 598 II that I bought new in the early 1970's while in college. It is in excellent condition, all original except for the drive belt and needle and I use it frequently. I have retained all factory material, operations manual, small Empire screw driver etc it came with including the original factory shipping box and packing material.
Additionally I have a pair of 598 III's I've owned for more than 20 years. They too are all original, drive belts and needles being the only replaced items. Lastly I also own a modern, Sota Moonbeam TT. So as you can see, nothing exciting or exotic but all are well maintained and treasured.
Looking forward to my time here.
Also as you can see from the picture of the water tower in our small town in Illinois, I really do live in the Center Of The Universe!
