Yep, four of 'em.  They are all intact and in generally good condition.  I'm missing about a dozen tubes total, so three are complete but none are playable, too many dangers in firing them up without a lot of internal work.  One has some water damage to the wood exterior, but the other three are in fine shape and one of them appears in the companion DVD to the 40th anniversary release of "Pinocchio," so it was pretty enough for Disney!
