Any thoughts, any web site suggestions would be appreciated.

Sasha already posted a web site with instructions, vocabulary, and personal
editorial related to the samovar. My additional suggestion: brew tea in
it and ask your health dept. to test it for lead.

You might get an electrician or repair shop to put a U.S. plug on it if
they determine it's safe.

Not to mention wiring it for 110 instead of 220.
