Quick side trip to an inflation calculator shows that (not sure when the advert was from) but assume between 1950 and 1960 then $99.95 is $805-$989 in 2015 $. Next look at eBay and see TD-124 selling for ~$1000 w/o arm -- so does this mean we should be investing in hi-fi as a hedge against inflation :-)

Right after you've exhausted every known Ponzi scheme. :-)

  Marantz 7 and 8 were $249 and $179 in 1960. The sell for a ridiculous price now. Imagine having the pair NIB to sell now! Alas pickin g the right ones to buy is the challenge and likely would not work for much of anything made much after that era.
