[TenTec] Prices

Hi,
 
As a relief from all this serious stuff on the T-T reflector, if you're as  
old as I am you may remember that when Collins brought out the KWM-2 in 
1959, it  was priced at $1150 excluding mic and power supply.  According to the 
 Bureau of Labor Statistics web site, CPI inflation would bring that to 
$8600  today, or just about double the base price of the Orion II.
 
Of course, Collins had no problems with firmware :-)
