Nope, there is actually a fair number of them, even in working condition.
Xerox made, and mostly gave away, 2000 of them in the 8 years they were made.

I have fair reason to believe that most of them were scraped already. probaly only one or two are survived.

No-I had to drop out at $30,000
Actually, there was one of these exact units on display at the VCF-MW last month, by two brothers from Chicago!
