Thanks. So if I had a booster in 1960 (or even 61) it would have to be a tube type. Actually, I don't care which it is (so long as it's not anachronistic). I just happened to come across 1962 prices for the antenna with transistor boosters. There was another antenna on that page (at the link) for @ $150 using a tube but I don't know how common that price was, since there was only one listed. If I used that kind of antenna, then the service and labor might cost ???

I'm thinking I need the cost of the antenna ($150?), the cost of the first service call ($25?), the cost of labor for installation (tech and assistant for 2.5 hours--$50?), and extra parts ($20?). That would total $245. It sounds so low for today but it might have been high then.

I'll go with this unless I learn otherwise. I need a total price, because my repairman is going to chase down his customer to pay her bill.
