    The seller gives contact information of:
    Yuri Margorsky: maur@online.kharkiv.com
    
    I don't know if he has any relation to the Alexey you speak of.
    
    I have a question though:

    I know the SNO-T is based closely on the Freiberger.  Can it not use the
    same parts?
    Would it be more difficult to get parts and services for the SNO-T?
    In general, the Freiberger price of a Freiberger on Ebay is at least 20%
    higher than that for a SNO-T.  I am surprised to see maurnavy selling one
    for LESS than the SNO-T.  The pictured Freibuger looks perfect (though there
    are no closeups of any of the parts).  The only visible difference is that
    it has only one scope.
