Mark at Solid Wood Machinery in Ontario deals with these, he does fantastic rebuilds on the Marunaka machines as well as Maka Mortisers.
lumbering_on not sure why you mentioned Logosol moulders they are nothing like a super surfacer and are on the extreme light end of multi-face moulders.
Ryobi, Hitachi, and Makita all built light-duty versions of the super surfacer maybe 35 years ago but they never took off here. You still see them for sale once in a while but I imagine parts would be non-existent.
Wondering what the commercial use would be, and that kinda price screams industry. Very rare/expensive hardwoods where they don't want the waste a commercial planer makes? That is all I can think of. Industry has planers and sanders for less than that, which can do a LOT more work faster than that could, if the demo was it's normal speed.
I think the reason most of us haven't seen one before if they have been made that long, is there isn't a sound market for them.

It's the 'league' they are in - i.e. they're machine that do great work, but are very specific in what they do and are well beyond the budget that anyone would have.

I got ya, it just didn't compute because I see Logosol and their orange cousins as the Grizzly of multisurface planer/moulders lots of hobby sawyers have them.

I realized after reading your reply that I was a bit unclear. I actually looked into Logosol as I was toying with the idea of a sawmill, and when I saw that they sold jointers and planers I took a look. It was a quick look.
I bet the blade is super easy to sharpen as it's probably an indexed single bevel. Might not be but it wouldn't make a whole lotta sense to be otherwise even if it's proprietary. Way to easy to sharpen a single bevel. Yes. I said to. Just out of spite.
