I only just got to read the article today and it claims that less than a dozen were made. Only two surviving machines are pictured, mine and the one I've shown above that was auctioned in '89. The article claims that the other example is how they were painted, but they don't say how they know that. Anyway it does have a larger photo of the other machine so if I can find out it was like that for sure I'll have something to base mine on. Thanks, AkuAku.
