Thanks! I strung up the racquet last night with MSV Hex (mains) and Wilson Sensation (crosses) at a really low tension of 35/40 for fear that it might collapse on me, but she held up and I think it can go even tighter. The stringbed got tighter as the crosses were applied. I also put on a white overgrip tape on top of the nice leather underneath and she looks good to go. I'm really looking forward to putting her through the paces. For a novelty item (cold war era racquet), I'd guess it could possibly fetch $30-$40 here in the US??

I'm not good with colors...so I had my daughter look at it. She describes it as teal green. It is a nice shade of green.

I know some people who still playing with these racquets, it's not easy but if you have good old-school technique you will like it. Give it a try.

Likely. I have seen this racquet mentioned around here before (maybe Classifieds) and they apparently made stringing equipment.

They also have some defunct trademarks:

Yea, I'm old school and love old wooden tennis racquets, even the warped one, hence my screen handle.

Различные книги и другие компьютерные программы. Игра в теннис дает мне много воздействием русских, поэтому я могу говорить на нем довольно часто.
