The USSR has a few. Might be out of your price range though.

Ha!
Have you checked Audiogon lately? They crop up there on occasion. I've also seen them in the classifieds forum at AV123 a few times. AVS has a classifieds forum as well that might be worth watching.

'XenonMan', you forgot to consider that 'grimloch' may be too young to even know what either the USSR or an Intercontinental Ballistic Missle are/were!
It is ironic that I don't consider myself too old (44), but when I started in the Navy in 1987, it was the height of the cold war and I trained to shoot down USSR Migs! Things sure have changed. But following WWII in 1967, I bet those who were 44 years old (like me now) found it quite strange that by 1967 we were good friends with both Japan and Germany.

I guess it is good that the newer generations may not know what a real old fashion ICBM is but at the same time if everyone forgets what they could do then the danger goes up. In the meantime, we can stick with the ones everyone can afford.
Check eBay. They show up there about once a month and go for around $200 in good condition. Got mine there.
