Can anyone point me to a link for an English translation of the manual for the Soviet TA-57 field telephone? Cheers!

Failing that, if you have the Russian version, you could try putting it through an online translator. I find the Google translator fairly reliable, though others are available.

edit: the above is less practicable if the Russian version is only available as a set of scanned images, as per the version I have found via scribd, unless you have access to OCR software capable of reading Cyrillic text.

I have not checked this out in any detail but Yandex offers to translate files from Russian to English.

Dave, your link is broken so I cannot tell if the file type is acceptable.

Looking at the source text of my post (using quote), I see that the url has been replaced by asterisks, so it appears that this is one of the download sites proscribed by the forum.
