The Rubin-714 was also built here in Poland until 1982 (!). It's a massive great hybrid set, and even here it has a reputation for catching fire. However, clearly quite a few have survived. There are several listed on one of the big Polish trading websites. One of them is only a couple of miles from here and for sale at £15 'or near offer'. It's probably a good job I haven't got room for it!

The also have one on display in the wonderful Technical Museum in the distinctive Palace of Culture and Science in Warsaw. Well worth a visit if you want to see room after room of Soviet era industrial and consumer technology. Including some British built cookers which for some reason seem to have been popular in Poland during the 60's/70's.
