Funny you should ask!
I just got a catalog from a surplus house called JERRYCO,
address is:
JERRYCO Inc.
601 Linden Place
Evanston Illinois, 60202
...and I noticed that they're selling a complete IR seeker head from a
sidewinder missile (every kid should have one!). The ad says:
AIM 9B Sidewinder heat seeking missile guidance device. It sat in the
nose of the missile and tracked the infared "signature" of the target
via a telescopic optical unit.
. . . (more)
Consists of a cassegrain type telescope mirror asseembly and
associated electronics including a transmitter and an interrogator.
The catalog number is 20383 and their price is $98.50
Good Luck!
