Many Empire arms have no provision for anti-skate

I own one. The "weight on a thread" thing was added later in the production of these arms.

Anyone looking for a replacement tonearm for the earlier Empire arms, as I was, that will fit into the same holes on the top plate as the original arm (probably not the 598 or 698 turntable models) should check out the Jelco SA-750D. Works like a charm and raises the sonic level of the turntable by a lot. Note that only the "D" model (9" arm) of the Jelco 750 will do this.

I was always amused that the original Empire 98 arm I had with a Stanton 881 cart mounted on it would sail through all four levels of those "torture tracks" on the HiFi News test record. Wouldn't sound all that great but it sure wouldn't mistrack either, and that's without any ante-skate. No other arm I owned would do this.
