Jtasmarinda,
you really had a bad experience. I did receive one of the first units (so Series I) at High End 2010 in Munich. It is true we had to change the chip once and also use a different fluid mixture. Since then I have washed over 400 records without any problem.
I do own the Source Odyssee MK V with two brushes as one of the first customers in Germany too and will not give away this wonderful and very precise machine. But those two machines on one`s washing table are a perfect match for all needs- Washing Heaven !
