As requested, here is a picture of the 980 arm with the rare factory anti-skate assembly. (FYI, the rod on the bearing assembly housing is a bit skewed. It should be pointing straight to the back in the 12:00 position, not the 11:00 position it appears to be in this picture.)
Yes and no. The 108 was always known as a cartridge, it's people's insistence that it was a turntable model number as well that has gummed up the Empire info pool for too many years.Also, I got this brochure for the table a while back and this clears up the mystery of the 108 existence:

If it will fit with the cartridge sled and all that goodness. But, it looks like it could possibly interfere. The instructions available at vinylengine state it has to be on top of the headshell which doesnt seem like a possibility for the Empire arm.
You need to rotate the entire back arm housing so the auto lift will lift at the right spot. Loosen the arm height screw a little and twist the entire arm assembly towards the back in extra small steps, always re-tightening the screw and checking if you got it right. When you have, you're there.Need a little help for my 698, thought i had everything adjusted correctly and it sounds great but auto lift lifts arm about 1/4 inch early i.e. in the middle of last song. What do I have out of adjustment?
