Glad you asked and here is one, but way out of my league at $8K+ but really not that pricey as high end TT's go. I heard a $50K table once, I bought a pair of ProAc speakers from him and the wood work (plinth) alone was simply out of this world, perhaps one of a kind.
I had borrowed a $15K VPI Avenger ($26K now) for a long time (years) from a close friend, so this sounds downright reasonable.
It does not take a lot of air flow to make an air bearing as long as the mass is low enough to float, but the machining can be a nightmare.
