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!
