Thanks to inflation, $0.25 in 1972 is worth $1.51 now. Likewise, $1.25 has

However, it's still not entirely comparable, as I suspect nobody's making
74-series chips any more so you're buying NOS. A modern equivalent would be a
microcontroller, which start at well under a dollar.
The small beauty of being there...?? FYI back
then (1972) a 7400 was about
25 cents and 7483 adder was maybe $1.25.? Least that's what I paid.
Checks my
favorite supplier.
$1.25 for 7400 and $4.00 for a 7483.
It has gone up in price.
