Slide Rule

[fabrisse]

Does anyone know where I can get a decent one for cheap? I may also need a lesson or two in how to use one.

There's a model for sale at Amazon for about $20, but it's apparently a bit sticky. If anyone has one, could you let me know if it's still good enough for basic functions?

Thank you, o wise and mighty Friends list.

If second hand will do then there are plenty on ebay...

I hadn't thought of ebay. Thank you. The second hand and originals I've found have been north of $60.

ThinkGeek has http://www.thinkgeek.com/gadgets/tools/be12/ I didn't see any customer reviews, so no idea if it's any good.

That's the one that the Amazon reviews refer to as "sticky." However the price is good.

Thank you.

Blast. Oh well. Luck!

We used to have a couple, but I looked and couldn't find them. The best was a round one that was totally cool. I'd also suggest eBay, they have several under $20 that look in great shape.

Sorry I couldn't be of more help!
