Back then you were probably making around $ 2 an hour.  So it was 2 hours of work to get the 75 pounds to you .  Now it is about 60 dollars to get the same weight to you.  So not much difference other than maybe the time frame.

When I was stationed in North Bend, Oregon in the Airforce  (1960-1964) I had a side business repairing fishing boat radio and radar equipment up and down the Oregon coast.  A surplus dealer in San Francisco was selling APN-9 Lorans and the 400 hz converters at a good price. They would put them on the Greyhound bus and I would pick it up at our bus station the next day.  5 bucks for about 75 pounds of gear.  Good old days!
