What do we make of this?
 

Received this email this morning::

Good Morning, Dear Friend,


Our local Religious Community contains several radio amateurs and they
adviced us to appeal to you.


As a result of a big weather-catastrophe happened in the previous year
we lost everything. Now almost everything is repaired, but we are
still experiencing great difficulties in radio hi-fi equipment for
listening to Religious Music.


Therefore we would be more than pleased if you could help us with any
old hi-fi audio equipment which you don't use anymore such as a
turntable, power amplifier, etc., and send it to our postal address
is:


Oleg Tiknonov,
P.O. Box 18.
Kaluga 248600.
Russia.


In a gratitude for your help, we would be happy to send you a
professional Russian communication receiver - Volna K from the
personal collection of our member.


We pray for your help and we hope to hear from you soon.


God Bless You,


Oleg Tikhonov.
Kaluga. Russia.

I assume that Russia uses 50 Hz 220V power (same as most of Western
Europe), so a U.S. turntable would appear to be out of the question.

Whew, thanks for the reminder. That will save me a bundle on postage.

Old hi-fi gear is so abundant and cheap here that this would be a great deal,
if it is legit (and if your package of audio gear is the first to arrive, and
snag the Russian radio, which would be a very special collector's item here).

Of course, after the shipping charges and customs hassles, it probably isn't
worht the effort. --Mike K.
