Add things up .............................

I already forgot what this thread was about, but giving people more money doesn't seem to help. Jmo
If I can make 15 an hour flipping burgers, the value of my degree just went down by the difference. I can't quite square that.
 
It's not hard to figure out why many of the machine tool builders no longer exist. When I purchased my Sanford MG (6"x 12") surface grinder it came with a bunch of paperwork. One piece was the original price quote from the vendor. The list price was $6,100.00 for the bare machine. Another $300.00 for the base cabinet, and $600.00 for table stops. That would be slightly less than $71,300.00 in today's money. Today most surface grinders of this size sell for between $5,000.00 and $12,000.00
 
Any idea what a SB 9A would have sold for new in '47??

$272.20 to $369.70 ($3392-4611) depending on the options selected (8 or 16 speeds, bed length etc). The tool room version was $486.70 to $516.70 ($6057-6440).

The 9C ran about $100 less than the 9A (about $1200 today).

Vintage machinery has a lot of the old catalogs available.
