"For info, the Eko Ranger 12 retailed for £35 in 1967 and the Yamaha FG180 cost £37.50 in 1971. That said, I upgraded to a Martin D18 in 1974 which cost me a massive £190."

Just shows how lucky we are now to be able to buy quality guitars for not much money - 35 quid in 1967!!! - equivalent to about 15 hundred quid today; can't imagine paying more than about 60 quid for an Eko today - even if new.
