Kit box images sourced from this item on eBay |
Galen alerted me to this kit version of E. L. Moore's Bunn's Feed & Seed currently (as of this posting) up for sale on eBay. I haven't heard of the manufacturer or its E. L. Moore Series of kits. I have no idea when this kit was manufactured or if there are other kits in the series. I found the MSRP printed on the box interesting at nearly $100US as Mr. Moore noted the cost of the project in his August 1973 MR article as "about $2". An internet inflation calculator tells me that $2 US in 1973 works out to around $14.50 US in today's money. It would probably be tough to build Bunn's from scratch in accordance with Mr. Moore's instructions for $14.50, but it should be possible for far less than $100.
