According to a US inflation calculator $5 is $10.65 in todays money due to inflation.

Actually I could understand someone paying $25 for the Crown for Nostalgia reasons, if they had one back in the day.
As detailed in an earlier post I spent several years looking for a little Amerex Cassette recorder like the one I had in 1976.

 

Yeah, I hear you there... I spotted my dad's old GE portable cassette recorder, and thought "What a nice way to make up for past mistakes."

You don't see them made like this too often... Why have many keys/buttons when one knob does the job?:
