Terry,

I have been out of the hobby for so long I don't really know.. I never did own any of the equipment. I Just borrowed and used my friends stuff.. he had a lifetime collection and didn't mind sharing it. This was back in the 80's and I was just a kid with no money..

I do know that he had used stuff that he bought at swap meets for next to nothing and he had several newer sets that costs thousands..

So I think you are right, it cost whatever you are willing to spend on it..

Maybe SchrewCub can give you some better info than I can.
