Hey, Russell. Thank you . In the USSR Radio Hi End (as Philco 116 or 690) do, but receivers made with good acoustic performance. This is primarily the product of firms VEF (Latvia 137, M-152 WORLD, WORLD M-154) and radio engineering from Riga (Riga T-689, Riga-10, Festival Symphony), the Estonian plant Punane Ret (Estonia, Estonia-55) , Belarusian plant Molotov (B-50, B-53) and the Leningrad plant named Kazitskogo (Lenigrada-46 (48), Lenignrad-50, Neva-48, ..-52 ...-55 , October). Console in the USSR were popular just before the war, and almost always they were copies of American vehicles RCA. In the postwar period the console produced in very small quantities. For example, the Douro and perfect Soviet radiokonsol Riga-51 was produced in the amount of 8 pieces ... 
Unfortunately, Soviet radio stations 20s I have, since I live in the territory, which is not part of the USSR until 1944. And to buy a radio from the Russian colleagues are very expensive. They themselves have remained very few of them, and so the prices are very high. ..therefore Now I buy the German, American, British and Swedish Radio 20s
Regarding the customs regulations ... From Ukraine officially forbidden to export goods worth over $ 200 and over 50 years ... But if the declaration indicate the value is less than $ 200 and less than 50 years of age, the delivery problems do not arise. There is also a weight limit - 30 kg. Heavier boxes I sent piece by piece in two parcels -. Chassis and cabinet. It is necessary to say a good word for the quality of delivery - not one of my parcels has never been broken.
In the sales calculation table I placed the shipping costs depending on the weight, the reception it is possible to deliver even to your home or at the local post office. Also in the sales section at the request of colleagues I will post the receivers, which is ready to sell

Beautiful radios! About the only Russian radios I see are the Red Star (Zvezda-54), and I don't see those very often.

Thanks John. I do not like Star 54 ... Beautiful cabinet , but useless chassis. And the sound just awful.  I've got a radio, waiting for restoration, but I have no enthusiasm for it ...

Yeah, Zvezda is overhyped. It is Excelsior but both are tin cans, what good sound can that possibly produce?
It is more of a cult thing.
There is that one sold in Kutztown every time, the guy wants $500 and no one is biting.
Plus it has part of the lettering lost.
For collection purposes.. sure, but any of the radios above will give better sound.

Start learning Ukrainian. Or Russian.
PS. I do not charge much for the lessons
PPS. You will become very proficient in Russian profanities. Whether that is plus or minus - depends on your future plans.

Well, sometime I'd like a Red Star radio if only for display.
Jiri Placek at Kutztown has brought at least three that I remember seeing... two were red and one was green. John Hagman bought the first red one I saw and the other two were sold or eventually disappeared.
This is also a beautiful radio from Petro's Youtube channel:

I think I like it better than the Red Star 54's !

But one could say it was possibly designed by the same people who designed the Excelsior.
