 To make your life easier, and help you find exactly what you want, we have broken the on-line slide rule catalogs into smaller sections. Just CLICK on the icon of the rule type you are looking for at the left, to see the matching catalog. Large graphical catalogs are a bit SLOW, please give them time to load.
You can order anything here just by picking up the phone, and calling (250) 769-1834 during normal office hours, 8:30AM to 4:30PM PST. OR, Email your order to Susan  HERE.
 SHIPPING: Preferred and Alternate Methods as of June 4, 2013, CLICK for FULL DETAILS ON OUR FAQ Page. Rates are now changing rapidly, often with little notice to us, so all the data has been transferred to the FAQ page for speedy updating.
 E-Mail Susan if you want a quote for shipping to other destinations, or for something heavy. Sorry, we can't safely send most individual small parts in a regular letter envelope, they get destroyed by the automated handling equipment. Sometimes we can ship very rugged parts or plastic body pocket slide rules in a small padded envelope by letter post. Ask Susan.
If we have your valid data on file, you can just click on the ORDER email link to place an order and indicate your approval to bill, and we will do the rest. We keep your active information for ONE YEAR for your convenience.
If this is the first time you have dealt with us, you can phone +1 (250) 769-1834 to supply the billing info, or send it by the email link, as you prefer. We accept VISA/MC, international money order, Paypal (to Susan@Okanagan.net), and bank wire transfer. Please note that there are transaction fees with Paypal and wire transfer payments, the wire transfer fee is frankly horrifying.
ALL BIDS are in US$, we will convert to C$ for Visa/MC processing. To bid on any item here, just click on the email link at the item, and we will record your bid that evening. Bid whatever you like, as long as it's at or above the opening bid, we post whatever you send us. Because this is done manually, we have no way to proxy bid, so keep that in mind. We post your bid amount as received.
The highest bid at of 9pm PST, the closing time of the auction, wins. If the high bidder defaults, we pass to the next highest bidder, and he/she never gets to bid here again, ever. Tough darts.
We accept Visa/MC or Int'l MO for auctions settlement, or PayPal with a 7% adder. If we have your valid data on file, you can just click on the BID email link to place an order and indicate your approval to bill, and we will do the rest.

RARE PROTOTYPE!
FRONT, Click for a BIGGER PIC!
BACK, Click for a BIGGER PIC!
New Pickett and Eckel Prototype 800-ES Log Log Synchro-scale Rule
A VERY RARE prototype rule, with the earlier rounded body design (with internal springs) but a new style cursor, and with CLEAR PLASTIC body braces on the front side. I know of only two rules like this in existance, they appear to have been an experiment that never went to production. Mint condition, no case (was bulk bagged from Pickett inventory stock), but you can add one of our new SRC cases for an additional $25.
This Log Log Rule has LL1 +.01, LL1 -.01, A [ B, ST, T, S, C ] D, DI, K on one face, and
LL2 +.1, LL2-.1, DF [ CF, CIF, L, CI, C, ] D, LL3+1, LL3-1 on the other.
A very nice and incredibly rare rule with great scales, in wonderful condition.

Walt's Mystery Box of Circular Slide Rules
We introduced this circular mystery box
twelve years ago!
Includes big and small circulars.
|
I have a big pile of new and used circulars which may have minor flaws or that need some clean up, from aviation to pipe flow that were stacked up in our overhaul shop, now they can be yours instead! Some might have discolored faces, some might have browned cursors, some might have scratches, you name it, it's represented here. I will put in at least 5, and if the bid goes high enough, I will toss in more and better rules, it's all up to you. Needless to say, we paid big for these, and were suitably miffed when they weren't MINT as described (unless that was actually the flavor), but you can enjoy the benefits. Our overhaul bench is literally covered in rules waiting for work, we just don't have time to get to all of them, so this is your chance to score big time, and for us to make some desperately needed bench space!
At Least 5 Assorted Circulars!
