This was about 10 years after my father bought our first house for $4000
in 1953, and inflation had not run up that much. 3900 was a lot of loot.
I'm sure it was way less than the IBM 610 you cite, as almost everything
then IBM was quite pricy, but I'd not attach the adjective inexpensive
to it.

it was a desktop
machine (though rather large and heavy - 80 pounds), and it was
comparatively inexpensive, selling for around $3900.
