A late model VPI HW-16.5 can be had under $300.and is built like a tank.Any replacement parts are reasonable,easy to get and are easy to replace.I choose to wear ear protectors when engaging the vacuum motor.Much more rugged than the Nitty Gritty unit(which takes up less room and only supports the label area) as it appears simular to a turntable with a full sized platter and dust cover.Happy hunting.
