I've seen one (at a local public access TV station), but I have to
agree that they aren't common.

Nice score.
For my own collection, I'd say that I don't have stuff that's all that
rare... An Amiga 1000 w/Rejuvinator, a original rev C-64 s/n 2345, a
PDP-8/S, two Straight-8s (one of which appeared on the back of "CPU
Wars"), and an SBC-6120 with all the available accessories (FP-6120
and either a RAMdisk or IOB-6120) are about as rare as I get.
There's lots of people on this list with odder things than that.
