Just looking back at an old record of department purchases since 1957.
Tracked done one of our remaining AVO's 8 mk III and ,atching serial
number it seems we bought 6 of them for £128 in Aug 1966. So about £22
each.

Just found it interesting wonder how you would factor in inflation and
what they would be in todays money.


They were about £1000 from RS when they last sold them, as I recall. That
would be about 2008.

I bought a mint condition Mark 6 for about £90 a while ago.


According to:
https://www.bankofengland.co.uk/mone...ion-calculator

that GBP22 would have been GBP412.93 in 2019 adjusting for inflation.

But how much when corrected for house price inflation since 1966 ?.
