Re: Hypothetical question: Cost of a new K1000

[Bruce Rubenstein]

It would be better to use the FM2n, since that was in production for a 
long time with a price history. I would not be surprised if the price 
ratio difference between the K1000 and FM/FM2n was pretty constant over 
time. When the FM2n stopped being sold last year it sold for $400-$500. 
The K1000 price was probably in the 2:3 ratio range (?) That would be a 
reasonable guess as to what a K1000 would cost today.
