Vintage EMPIRE 698 TURNTABLE Record Player - PLEASE READ DESCRIPTION

Description

Vintage Empire 698 Turntable with Empire 2000 E III cartridge and stylus.
I bought this about 2 years ago but have never used it because a few days after I got it I got a good deal on an MMF 7.1 turntable.
It does need some work. I wiped the dust off to take pictures but needs some more cleaning.
The cueing does not work. The buttons light when touched but the tone arm does not lift.
It plays and there is sound from both channels.
Has original glass in the dust cover with no cracks.
Because the dustcover is glass, I will not ship but will drop off at a shipper here in Charleston, SC.
