RE: Not synchronous, nor high torque.

Interesting. Then why did Empire refer to the motor as a hysteresis synchronous motor, from the 208 right up to the 698? I admit to feeling confused about your statement though this webpage seems to describe the Pabst motor in the Empire, (as far as I can see) and they call it a hysteresis synchronous motor.

Let me know what I'm missing!

As for torque, that may be me using the wrong terminology; I don't know what else to call it when if you try to stop a typical running Empire motor with your fingers and it takes much more pressure to get it to stop, compared to other turntable belt drive motors. I also know it takes much more to stop an Empire turntable with your fingers (especially the 208/298/398) than many others.
