Recently a list of Russian Radios was posted to this group.
I have been in communication with the sellers, with an interest to having
them find me Russian calculators and computers (see my page at
http://www.comcen.com.au/~adavie/slide/calculator/soviet.html). They
indicated that they were able to get just about any model that I wanted, so
I asked for the "top 4" - three of which had never been seen other than as
grainy photographs. Within a day or so, they responded that they have the
calculators I asked for. I have asked for more details - pictures -
photocopy - serial numbers - anything!! No response, yet. It will be great
if they really DO have what they say they have, but at this stage my scam
detectors are hooting really loudly. I'd advise anyone dealing with these
people to exercise caution. They may be genuine, but usually if something
looks too good to be true...
I'll keep the group informed, if there's any further developments.

I collect old radios, and I can definitely say differently. Just try
plugging in a metal-cabinet radio with a few bad tubes, turning it on,
and
touching the case. Also, get out of the way when a shelf collapses with
a
52-pound short-wave receiver on it. Other than that, you're probably
right.
