Jeff,
There are only two fully assembled and functional units, Al Alcorn
doesn't even have one and he was the head of the Atari Cosmos project, but
he does own a set of the plastic shells. I have one of the functional
units and a CES mockup, the other is owned by a former Atari engineer from
Atari's special projects unit. Here is a link to images and history of the
Cosmos at my site:
