I have a brand new one that I just imported from Germany.  It's on my
members page along with my other German finds -
http://www.busdepot.com/members.htm.  I think it's on there for $350.

It is not complete. You would need a fuel pump, underdash relays, inline
temp sensor, and I think, a combustion air blower.  You do get a brand new
heater body with the parts that are bolted to it, such as the points contact
setup, thermo time switch, etc., plus a brand new wiring harness, etc.  If
you could find a junker unit to get the ancilliary parts from, you'd have a
brand spanking new BA6 for about 1/3 of what it cost new 20 years ago.

Again, though, I only have one.
