I got my Model V a number of years ago. It came from eBay-Germany. I'll just say, the shipping charge was many times more than what I paid for it.
I have another one, motor only, that I bought in 1991 from a retired vac-shop owner, a lady who lived in Santa Monica. I gave her $50 for it. At the time, I thought that was an outrageous amount of money!!
I had a third one that I sold a few years ago to another collector.
