<div>Well, no doubt the whole list is spell bound by this
subject, but I could not believe what I just found with a
quick search for "empire turntable cartridge 1960s" to see if
I could find a reference to the turntable I had while a
student at Moscow High in the 1960s...<br>

This May 2013 Ebay listing, for 500 dollars, if you can believe
it, looks exactly like the turntable I had! I did not pay 500
dollars for it in the 1960s! Much less... Note belt riding on
the outside of the platter:<a moz-do-not-send="true"

Considering only Consumer Price Index changes, $500.00 in 2012
dollars is the equivalent of $69.89 in 1965 dollars.<br>

Would you like to do this or other calculations yourself? Here's
