The HFN review in the November 1957 issue quotes a price of 52 UKP per
speaker. (Given the common use of mono, speakers were generally priced
per item, not per pair in those far-off days... ;- )
Hard to compare this with other speakers of the period as the range of
types and prices was broad, and many people then used to buy drive units
and fit them into their own enclosures.
A few comparisons from roughly the period might help. A Mini - '59 - cost
500 quid. 2 star petrol - slightly lower octane than our present premium -
5 gallons for 1 quid. 20 king sized fags 5 bob (25p) A pint of beer around
2 bob (10p)
