Assuming it's British/BSA threading a BB will set you back $15 and a crankset no more than $20.
As a side note the mid 80's Peugeots fall into the purgatory of threading. Not always British (heaven) and not always hell (French/Swiss).
And if that turns out to be the case, there are threadless cartridge bottom brackets from e.g. Velo-Orange, YST, etc. that would work and not break the bank.
