Stanton 500 Cartidge under dome

[StellarTV]

Under dome??? Yep, under a dome. I'm hoping someone here can help me with this. I just picked up at an estate sale a gold colored Stanton 500 cartridge under a plastic dome with the Empire name imprinted on the plastic base. The cartridge appears to be unused, is marked with the Stanton 500. Any ideas on what this may be??????? Thanks

I'll have to get the photo on tomorrow, Saturday. Don't have the pic with me.

Sounds like someone put a Stanton cartridge in the 'box' that an Empire came in.

I have the same one. Nothing with Empire written on it. I grabbed this photo from the Bay. I'm wondering what stylus to use for this one. Thanks!

The one you show is entirely different from the one I have. This one is very boxy and square, not as streamlined. There are 4 prongs for the plug in.

If it says 500 on the body and the body is gold than assure as the pope is catholic you have a Stanton 500 the older one. Someone probably put it in the Empire case. A typical thing with estate sale items

The one he pictured is mounted in a headshell.

Easy, secure storage for cartridges when swapping. I have an AT stuck in an Ortofon box right now...
