Automatic Amusements 1991 PCB Pricelist

[Jase]

While sorting through the mountain of arcade related stuff I have collected over the last 14 years, I discovered a folder which came from a former operator with a load of machines I bought (a superb deal it was too!)
In amongst all the dip/pinout sheets I found this price list, and I thought some of you may be interested to see it...

Hehe, my Defender PSU board came from there in 1988 or so

Cool! Do you remember what you paid for it by any chance? I remember still seeing a few Defenders still in service back in '88.
I was a bit surprised to see how much these PCBs were then, in relative terms I wonder what these would equate to in 'modern money'?

according to this rather cool site (http://www.measuringworth.com/ppoweruk/), that for Final Fight "In 2011, the relative value of
£525.00 from 1991
ranges from £847.00 to £1,322.00"

But, considering Megadrive games were £40ish in the early 90s, this site reckons £64/£100 by modern standards. When you think how much it costs to develop, say, Skyrim, I'm surprised we don't pay even more than that now. So not sure how awesome their maths is.
