Empire 598 II Troubador // Belt Drive Turntable / Glass Dust Cover

SOLD , now part of a Private Collection

We've sanded down and completely refinished the plinth and dust cover in a slightly darker stain than original to add a bit more contrast with the brass and then replaced the original plastic with glass that has been sandblasted along the edges. We then lined the inside of the plinth with dynamat to add more mass and reduce vibration transfer which has taken this table to a whole new level. Like almost all Troubadours of this era, there is some discoloration on the anodized parts.

 

The original Empire logo badge is available to be added back onto the table. We prefer the look of it clean, but we're happy to do that for you if you'd like.
