General:
One of the best and all-time classic record cleaners from VPI, made right here in NJ, USA.

The HW-17F is built like a tank, much better than the recent wave of Chinese-made cleaners made of crappy particle board and wimpy motors.

This cleaner has a crazy powerful vacuum motor, bi-directional platter, and most importantly a cleaning liquid applicator which makes the entire process fast and easy.

This cleaner is like new with very little use. There are no significant scratches or dings.

The HW-17 is the standard in high performance record cleaning machines, and is said to be the most copied record cleaning machine in the world. The critically acclaimed HW-17 is also standard equipment in many record libraries and radio stations.

The fan cooled HW-17 is built for hours of continuous use, and is ideal for large record collections. With its high-torque, 18 RPM turntable motor and its high power vacuum, The HW-17 makes quick work of even the dirtiest records. 

The HW-17 features automatic cleaning fluid application, a self aligning vacuum suction tube for accurate cleaning, and the HW-17's high-power vacuum ensures quick, deep cleaning.

The HW-17 also features a bi-directional motor, which will allow albums to be cleaned in both directions, so debris that is unable to be removed from cleaning in one direction, can be removed by cleaning in the other direction. 

The HW-17 features a marine grade plywood chassis for long life and durability.
