lets say in the year 1940 just for a reference. in 1940 USD

and then if you please, the approximate current USD that a 78 would sell for today.

The average 78 rpm record in the pre-WWII 1940s cost approximately $.20 to $2.50 depending greatly on its age and the area in which it was purchased. This would be approximately $2.50 to $51 USD as of February 2011.
