neil 2,398 #1 Posted December 13, 2014 I was recently sent this ad from a fellow euro member Simon Cole (Landsurveyor) . It is from a small holder magazine announcing the introduction of the new RJ58/59 to the UK market. The article is also dated 1959 & shows some nice photographs 8 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

rmaynard 14,805 #7 Posted December 14, 2014 What's 180 pound....about $270 ? What a deal! Thanks for sharing. Mike........ The conversion rate was $2.81 per dollar back in 1959. That would make the price about $505.00. I'm sure Neil will correct me if I'm wrong. [emoji1] 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
