IMPORTANT! This a genuine Empire Cartridge body only! Exactly as pictured. Use it to replace any old one listed below. As you can see, it has NO MOUNTING CLIP! So it will require your existing Empire spring steel 1/2" standard mounting clip, which should be held in your headshell with two screws. As you can see from the picture, the cartridge only says Empire (many have the lettering 'rubbed' off) and nothing else. We got these in a large buyout so we don't know their history. They may be new old stock, 'pulls' so a store could put something else in there, who knows? But, we will test continuity on each one before it leaves our facility, and guarantee it not to fail for 5 YEARS! This is intended as a backup for your existing Empire cartridge (see below) or to replace your old defective one. Magnetic cartridge failure is very rare, no matter what the brand, but the classic bad cartridge symptom is single a dead channel.
NOTE! Before assuming your dead channel is in your cartridge, swap the red and white RCA connectors that plug into the PHONO jack on your amp or receiver. If the problem moves from one speaker to the other, then the problem is in your turntable. If the dead channel stays on the same speaker then the problem is in your amp/reciever.
Electrical specs may vary but this cartridge can physically replace:
