VPI HW-17F Record Cleaner Never used - I opened this factory-sealed box for the first time after acquiring it with a record collection. In fact, Ive included pictures of the sealed box before I opened it, and pictures of what I saw inside. Includes original manuals, paperwork & packaging. You can see that it hasnt even been plugged in since it left the factory. I did plug i in, and can verify that it is functional. I dont wish to run any fluid through it however, so I cant guarantee any seals or gaskets. (See statement below.) ___________ Naucks Vintage Records is the worlds premier specialist in vintage 78rpm & cylinder phonograph recordings (1890-1960), and have bought and sold internationally for 40 years. We DO NOT specialize in vintage audio. That being said, we often have the opportunity to pick up nice equipment when we purchase record collections. All such items are gently cleaned, and (assuming they appear safe) we check to see if they power up. If we have the ability to test basic functionality, we will do that as well. If a component appears to be functional, we will make a statement to that effect. However, we DO NOT guarantee that any piece of equipment is performing to spec, or that all controls and/or features are fully functional. To be honest, we have no idea what many of these features even mean, much less do we know how to properly engage and evaluate them. (We understand on/off, volume, balance & tone controls - maybe a few more. Anything beyond that is questionable!) We will also describe cosmetics, the presence of original paperwork and/or packaging and anything else that appears to be relevant. If you have questions concerning any item we offer, please contact us. We will try to answer to the best of our ability. Check, money order, credit card or Paypal accepted.

This like new example of now iconic VPI HW-17 was recently removed from a high end system where it was used an estimated 25 times… it is in remarkable condition as you can see in the photos. Everything works as it should- I have been a fan of VPI Tables, arms and cleaners for the past 25+ years and this model in particular has always stood head and shoulders over most cleaning systems… I see where there is an original Ad for sale on the HW-17 on eBay for $8.95 which I was considering ordering! Wether you have a sizable record collection or just beginning to build one, you could do far worse than the HW-17- It’s build quality, ease of use (very important!) and effectiveness is pretty much unsurpassed by anything I’m familiar with and it will likely last a long, long time- As always, it will be double boxed, shipped and insured FREE to the lower 48 states and global shipping is available through eBay’s reliable GSP for an additional charge. Thanks for stopping by; I hope this finds you well and enjoying these interesting times! Please don’t hesitate to contact me with any questions or concerns regarding the VPI- Best regards, Jim Jim Gray Designs jimgraydesigns.com

This VPI HW-17 record cleaning machine has been a project that Ive been storing for more than a few years now. As you can see in the video, the pump, platter motor, and vacuum do appear to turn on when switched on though I have not tried to clean a record with this. I had planned on cleaning it up but its more of a project than I have room for right now. Included are new replacements (from VPI) of a 33 rpm wand and the housing that it sits in. You can see where the previous owner used some sort of sealant (its silver in color) around the inside corners of the unit. The base plate appears to be a homemade replacement as I believe the original is made of old particle board. A couple of the screws that hold the baseplate on are stripped. Cosmetically, this is in pretty nice condition (aside from the sealant). The exterior of the case has few marks and the clear acrylic dust cover is in excellent condition. If youre the type of person that doesnt mind fixing things, this could be a great deal for you. This is being sold as is and as shown. Please be willing to restore or, at least, repair this unit. This is not in plug and play condition. The fuse that is in there is only a 6.5 Amp fuse and the manual calls for a 10 Amp - Ive only switched each function on individually. Unit measures 22.25 x 15.5 x 7.75 and weighs 29 lbs. Ive packed countless pieces of rare and delicate audio and Im confident I can get this to you safely. Local pickup is always welcome. Thanks for looking.
