I bought a Record very similar to the first one posted...got it for less than $200 shipped and I'm into it. There's sloppy welds that reinforce the lugs' seating into the tubes, no headbadge, and it's pretty chipped up. I dig it. The only thing that pissed me off was that it came in a potato box with holes in it and NO EXTRA PACKAGING. No bubblewrap or even newspaper. I'm really surprised the frame isn't dented. The headset bearings were in a dimebag taped to the seat tube around the USSR logo...you know the rest. So now I'm looking for some touch up paint. It's a 25mm seatpost, I'm going to grab a Thomson for it unless I can find something cheaper.
