The 598, introduced about 1970~1971, was a radical rethink in design. It featured a two-piece platter, a newly designed walnut base, a new arm (the model 990,) an arm rest that featured a light that made it possible to "see" where you were placing the tonearm on the record in a dark room, and a first for Empire: a wood framed plexiglass dust cover.
The difference for the 208 was that it never came with an arm or dust cover and didn't have a suspended sub-chassis. All the various models use the same German motor.
