Rare!  Perfect for someone who needs one!  I suspect it might require a rebuild though.

I would tend towards 'less is more' as far as tampering with it , unless a known problem presents.

I have a 1949 FRIGIDAIRE   refrigerator that's been plugged in since 1949, ZERO SERVICE! ZERO REPAIRS!!! And it's still running as we speak.
apples and oranges I suppose could be argued but  That was the quality standard of the era.

On the 1949 refrigerator...How many service 'representatives' would have advised it needing a compressor, ring job, valves, or oil change or recharge or whatever ... but in 73 years it's needed absolutely  nothing ...sometimes "less is more"

I am interested in the A6 if that is what I would need to complete a factory system for a 59 Coupe

I'll try and post images of that version tomorrow

Here is an A5 image below.  its from a 1958, original, in place and un molested.
