It is a two part thing...now keep in mind from this 'explanation' that I did not thorough economics courses, nor did I get an A in the ones I had to take for my Mechanical Engineering degrees.
Inflation is indexed off price increases on a specific set of goods. Inflation in the States is different if fuel prices are included or not. None of these care what the supply is, they just calculate based on price.
For Rod's type 45 example, it is sure that supply and demand are having an effect on the price increases, but when counting inflation, that bit matters not.

Some tubes adjusted for inflation may not cost more today than in the 1960s. But, the Mullard 12AX7 long plate at about $175 today vs $3 in the 1960s is seven (7) times the price adjusted for inflation. I think a WE 300B is worst.
"the Mullard 12AX7 long plate at about $175 today vs $3 in the 1960s is seven (7) times the price adjusted for inflation."
If there were 40 trillion of them available, they'd be the same price as in the '60s. And many tube types that are not so desirable are still available for $5 each. It's strictly a matter of supply and demand. Anyone who wants to analyze tube inflation needs to look at reissues, not NOS with limited availability.
