'New' and working 8008's are not that hard to come by. I recently bought 15
of them for a project (
http://www.jkearney.com/tiny8demo/) and could get
more if necessary. Not cheap, though.

This would be a fun project. I did a design (but haven't built) of a Mark-8
using an FPGA and an 8008. The 8008 could be omitted and implemented in the
FPGA, but I think it's fun to use the actual old processors:
