Not many options available, but AM was $74 and AM/FM was $127, which is crazy money for that time, probably a month's pay for some!
According to the bureau of labor statistics, and using the consumer price index, $2300 back in 66 has around 16k buying power today. Granted the actual MSRP was only 2300$, but just something to ponder.

Can I count time for standing in line at the title & license bureau towards total project hours?
1 hour
No you can't, that goes under the administrative/research category. If I included that in my total mine would be 2000 hours.
You're back at 0 hours.
What are you waiting for? Rip and tear!

I don't agree with that at all. $2300 in 1966 is probably 25-30K today.
