I haven't either. The only reason I suspect they exist is the service manual for the VT-16A which lists them all. Could just be that they weren't very popular, or had some achilles heel that caused them all to go in the landfill.

There are some VCRs from that era I had never seen or heard of that will suddenly pop up in a thrift store or on ebay.
