As the video mentions this model is so incredibly rare that previously there were only two known photos of retail units in the wild - and one of those photos was of the very unit that the guy in this story eventually managed to acquire.
The other photo is a mystery, nobody knows who took it or whether that unit is still intact.
It was also incredibly expensive - most people rich enough to buy it wouldn’t typically post their living room online in the early 90ies
And yet, common enough that a random guy in the forum claimed to have had several in his store and gave them a copy of the service manual. And that was in the same city as the collector in the video. A decent amount of these were probably sold, and almost certainly all disposed of as soon as they became obsoleted by plasmas.
