I swear there was another VPI version that had the fluid AND brush on one arm, and then the vacuum on the other. either that, or I'm forgetting. Are there only these two models? Also, do you use the anti-static gun on the albums? if so, what sorts of results do you get? When I clean my records, I usually notice a static build up on them.

@mickeycello there was the 17 which was similar but with less suction power, i use knosti antistatic fluid so have,nt noticed any static build up after

i dont see what the black arm does

[RBR950E]

@farerse the black arm is the suction and removes all dirt and solution from record

2nd most powerful. Nitty Gritty 2.5FI is the best machine available, though the Keith Monk and VPI machines are absolutely excellent.

I have a VPI HW-17F ($1,000 in 2008). It has all functions of the Typhoon including the black brush/applicator arm not featured on the 16.5, plus an integral dust cover, but is probably not quite as heavy-duty. The Typhoon cleans the same as the 17F, but at over twice the cost. I've cleaned & treated over two dozen LP's back-to-back with no overheating or other problems, which seems more than adequate for this home user. The 17F is my pick of the three; good value at its price point.

how much?

@RBR950E Actually the Black arm is the solution applicator/brush and the clear tube on the right is the vacuum tube.

looks like a fancier VPI-17F

@farerse The black arm has a hose connected to it that applies the cleaning fluid to the record, it also has fine bristles on it that loosen and remove debris. Then the other arm, which is the vacuum tube, sucks all the debris and used fluid away. Pretty cool, huh?
