Greg, you are welcome.

83.50 dollars in 1952 had the same buying power as 689.47 current dollars. This from Historical Currency Conversions. Of course it does not take into account the difference in the
Spanish level of income from then until now. I estimate that in 1952, with shipping, handling and customs the 7E would have ended costing about $100.- or $825.72 current dollars; a good buy.
