I have installed two Jelco SA-750D arms on Empire 208's. They are not drop in replacements if you want to get the geometry right. It's still not hard , if you can use a metal file, you have to elongate the existing hole in the alloy plinth (takes about 1/2 hour) and drill new holes for the Jelco base. If you feel comfortable doing this work you will be rewarded with great sound. The Empire turntables are worth the expense and the effort....

Well, I elongated the 3 bolt holes, not the center hole that didn't require enlarging, and my protractor said everything was copasetic. THEN I discovered if iI used the old Empire arm's collar rather than the one that came with the Jelco, it WAS a drop-in replacement.
I'm exceptionally happy w/my 750L (12"). I've replaced the base with one from TTW (blown out before they went out of business). And I use Yamamoto headshells. But it makes the Koetsu Onyx sound awfully sweet. Better than with my Schroeder, but that's probably b/c the effective mass is a better match for the cart.
