Ozzie, Thanks for that update.
D cells at 450 $ 25 years ago ..........
so 1500 not bad then.
In 1985 Series 3 were advertized at 6800$ in Kit form.
That Lazair Mono float the Dale bought back last year for 7 ro 8k he sold to original owner factory built for about $ 15000.00 and bought it back 22 years laster fro 50% of that. Good deal.
SO what would a Lazair sell for now if it was available?
$12740.52 in the year 2006 has the same "purchase power" as $6800 in the year 1985.
