VPI HW 16.5 Record Cleaning Machine from Soundstage Direct Sweepstakes
Register to win a VPI HW 16.5 Record Cleaning Machine from Soundstage Direct (MSRP $649.99) we are giving away.
According to the company:
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, Audio Magazine
****STEROPHILE PRODUCT OF THE YEAR AWARD WINNER****
Clean your records with the HW-16.5 and hear what you've been missing. Includes: Built in dust cover 8oz bottle of VPI cleaning fluid & cleaning brush

I never gave up on vinyl, (although I gave up on CDs around '95), and my collection could really use this machine. It would have a useful life and a good home with me.
Would love to have this
Congrats to the lucky winner in advance and use in good health. Cheers to happy cleaning!
Please

That old record doctor is getting so weak........I dream about this machine!
I could put this to good use.
First pressings rule but they're no fun without the 16.5!
I have enough old vinyl to seriously test the durability of this unit (based on past experiences with VPI, it will make the grade and then some!).
And thanks!
Hope I win
Count me in.

Still saving for one of these babies. Sure would be nice to win one though!
I've got plenty of dirty records that would love a spin on this!

Friend zone to end zone
Listening to Vinyl without the many years of accumulated dust and oils would be a wonderous experience for me.
My records are dirty.
I've got 2000 or so LPs that need a bath.
This looks excellent. I have quite a few LP's in mind that could use a good cleaning from this machine!
One of these would make my second hand vinyl shopping a worthwhile practice again. Nothing better the resurrecting great old formats.
A great way to preserve your vinyl.
got to have this
To win, ready am I.
-Arctic.
Whether I win or lose, I will be a customer for life. Thanks for always producing fun contests, for keeping vinyl alive, and for having an excellent, friendly staff that cares about their customers (and also how to pack records=) you guys rock.
I would love to win one of these! Thanks for running the sweepstakes. Hope to win!
Our city is dirty, but there's no reason why our vinyl should be too!
Please help

Just what the good spin doctor ordered
Starting to get back into vinyl, this would make a huge difference in some old records.

It's either this or DIY (see YouYube DIY vacuum vinyl).
