Ed Leaman says that 55 were built. 52 were exported. Presumedly to countries that crop sugar cane.
I was at the PA sale in Oct 06. It was a divorce settlement liquidation. It was a big auction run by Aumann Auctioneers. Lots of very rare machines. I was under the impression that it was purchased by someone from Europe who flew in for the sale.

I believe that Aumann was asked to sell it for the third time several years ago. It sold at auction for about $70,000. Does Aumann play games. I have no idea. Seems like a nice guy.
