LOL!

I am 99.99% convinced these were never produced and sold; they used one for a publicity shot (as seen on the MoHPC 22S page) but no others have been seen in the wild.

Just not convinced enough to stop looking...

A seller on TAS listed a 22S a couple weeks ago, using the same stock photo as the museum page. I contacted seller and asked him/her to post pics of the actual unit, as the one shown clearly was not. He complied, but wanted to know how I could tell. "It's a long story" didn't work, so I explained. He could not see the difference between his (flat) and the recessed one in the pic. Rather than choosing to go on (and on...) I just parted with a thanks. Probably thinks I'm crazy.

I wonder if that's the machine Eddy bought?

I guess I'll find out. I just looked for the model and whether it is working (i.e. not sold for parts).
