Probably just one and it is a serial model and not rare at all.

Digital classicv maybe... but not vintage just yet.

Internet misunderstanding. There were circa 3000 wasps manufactured and 
below 1500 Gnats so yes, quite rare, though not as rare as some say.

SH-101 wins the analogue league of the western world but is beaten by 
the Polivoks as far as I've understood. No analogue can match the 
success of the M1.

You buy what you fancy and ignore the rest. I won another Realton 
Variophon the other day. It had been on the shelf of a music store since 
the early 80's. Is that rare? Me, as caught by those as by Simmons and 
EDP, consider it a find and I won the auction. But rare? I'll save that 
word 'til I sell them. *heh*
