Please note this is an early model with the enclosed cleaning fluid reservoir, it does not have the external tube. (Look at the rear side pix to see). Works fine though, I used a rubber turkey baster to suck out the dirty fluid after cleaning.
You can modify it to the tube version, but I never bothered, it works fine as is. It was stored by the previous owner in the box and has a bit of a musty smell running, again never bothered me. Includes the original, excellent condition VPI record cleaning brush.

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. 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 a fully enclosed design, preventing splashing. In the VPI tradition, all components are extra heavy-duty and professional grade.
