He bid on lots of Sol 20s but didn't win them all. The link was to a
bid history, not an "items won" history.
I wouldn't have a problem with someone taking 4 non-functional Sol's and
making one working one out of them, though. They bid, they win, they
can do what they want with their machines. It's better to have 1
working collectable then 4 broken junkers. All I'd hope is that the
remaining could be used to resurrect some other machines in time.

He's sucked down nearly every SOL-20 on E-bay for quite awhile. There's
at least 4 of them in the first three pages of his history linked to
previously. I dread the thought of someone turning those four SOLs into
one SOL.
