Keep your eye on eBay. Chances are good that you can pick up the
exact model you had before, either used-in-good-condition or
new-old-stock, for a reasonable price.

I'll admit that there's a danger to this, though. I started
collecting slide rules a few years ago, out of nostalgia, and got
bitten by the bug. I'm up to about 40 of them now... everything from
little 5" slipsticks, to an 8" circular, to an Otis King L cylindrical
in really fabulous condition. There are even a few (a Concise
circular, and a Pickett aluminum rule) with specialized X/L/C/F scales
for doing resonant-circuit calculations.


Oh, I know. I got bit by writing the response. I bought a K&E 1948
rule last night from ebay. 8.25 plus shipping. What a deal.
