Re: Time travel to 1972

WELL a for instance the Pioneer SA-9100 TOTL in 1973 amp sold for $400.00 you can buy them easily for under $200.00 now $400.00 in 1973 = approx. $1862.11 in 2006 So as you can see buying vintage when it is vintage is a much better deal. Federal Minimum wage in 1973 was $1.60 an hour now it's $5.15 (higher in many States)

in 1973 the average wage was about $7,580.16 so a that SA-9100 and it's matching tuner would run you about 10% of you years earnings!!!!! Which is why SO MANY vintage items were first purchased by someone in the military overseas where they had no every day living expenses to deal with.

NO going back in time is not a good investment! Unless you going to be buying certain stocks.
