THE ORIGINAL HW-16 AND 16.5 HAVE BEEN IN PRODUCTION FOR 30 YEARS.
The HW-16.5 is the standard in affordable record cleaning machines but neither
its build quality nor its cleaning power has been compromised. Its high-torque,
18 RPM turntable motor is more than capable of withstanding the pressure of
heavy scrubbing during extended cleaning sessions, and its 35-second cleaning
cycle per side makes quick work of even the dirtiest records. Now with self
aligning vacuum suction tubes for even more accurate cleaning, the HW-16.5's
high-powered vacuum ensures quick, deep cleaning. The newly designed vacuum
pickup tube automatically adjusts to accommodate records of any thickness. The
internal fluid collection system is made of stainless steel to prevent
corrosion, and the fully enclosed design prevents splashing. In the VPI
tradition, all components are extra heavy-duty and professional grade.
"I have found the HW-16.5 to be an outstanding performer. The record surfaces
are microscopically clean and are so pristine they look new!" -- Bert Whyte,
