You can't be serious right? There are multiple threads detailing his business practices..... I am sorry and wish you the best in getting it worked out. Nice rig in your sig by the way!

He got in way over his head, that's what.

Ouch. My condolences, dude. You won't be seeing your amp again

Seems he finally got SO in over his head (which he was for a while - it just kept growing in severity) that he probably (speculation) just up and left the country or changed his identity. Nobody's been able to contact him for quite a while, and he left with a possession of LOT of peoples' expensive amps - incomplete or otherwise. Others got left with dangerous/broken amps. I have an SDS that I had to have two tube techs go through, after Mikhail thoroughly botched a stupid high-voltage "upgrade" on it last year. Live and learn - now i know better.

Would it be out of line for me to speculate that he just crawled into a bottle?

Not at all, in fact I've speculated along similar lines (hah, a pun) myself.

Oh wow, there has to be something people can do about this moron!
How can he just get away with this?
Last i saw him was at the New York Head-Fi Fall meet in like 2007 or 2008, i forget which.
Whichever one was in Babylon ,NY.

Out of all the members here....doesnt anyone know where this guys lair is?
He must have a cave somewhere!

Class action lawsuit? Or many individual ones?
Put him in a pit till he pays! "He puts lotion on his skin or he gets the hose!"

He's still selling tubes on Ebay. I almost bought a 5998 from him until I realized who it was. What a slimeball that guy is.

This guy needs to be called to account. Why are there no fraud charges pending?

honestly, because anyone who does manage to sue him will end up having to spend more money on a lawyer and other legal fees than the court would order Mikhail to return

sad but true

Hmmm...he sold it to another person here in Denver?

eBay.com.my: Tung-Sol 5998 flat plate vacuum tube (item 270496498736 end time Dec 14, 2009 04:53:30 MYT)

I'll stay away regardless.
