How much cost a TV station in the 40s/50s???

Here are the cost estimates from Bolan's book.

I do remember that a black and white RCA Tk-11 or TK-31 camera chain went for about $17,000 in 1957 - 59. You can extrapolate out from that what the rest of the studio equipment might cost. Color TK-41s were going in the $60,000+ range.
