Yes, but there are a whole lot fewer ARC-5 sets
available today than in 1960.  There may have
been as many as several hundred thousand
sets SOMEWHERE!

Supply and demand govern price.  The overall
inflation rate between then and now is basically
non applicable.

And you are dead on with your analysis of why
the politicians love inflation.  With the graduated
income tax, people who gain no real buying power
are taxed increasingly heavily to feed the gross
appetites for someone else's money by pols and
their hangers-on.

Some folks have more dollars than sense.

A $10 ARC-5 set in 1960  would be about $63 in today's dollars:

Seems to me things have stayed about even in constant dollars.
Blame the politicians who love inflation, then tax you on it.
