"All-Metal" Rules

"specmanship" going on, but Pickett's pricing was more considerate of
student's budgets.

Pickett N515-T. Cleveland
Institute of Electronics special version. These rules were often seen in the
evening, after dinner was cleared, on the kitchen table, where many an aspiring
electronics technician would burn the midnight oil to get a new career so they
could quit that menial job at the grocery. These are great for anyone doing
work with electrical calculations involving reactances and/or resonant
frequency (special scales). The reverse side is devoted to formulae, constants,
and a special decimal point finder (should be helpful to all of you calculator
addicts!). The rule is new-condition; leather case (gold-tone embossed
"Cleveland Institue of Electronics") has a couple of small scuffs.
Includes belt loop. $129.

(K+E
sets are not available under terms of Slide Rule Express)
K+E 68 1622 Polyphase (old 4053-3). Complete, mint set (photo
above) includes slide rule, hunter-green case, manual, care booklet and box -
like new. $325.
K+E 4053-2. Very rare, 8-inch version of the popular 4053. Very good
condition, lightly used. (no case) $195.
K+E 4161-1 Polyphase Pocket Slide Rule (photo above). New condition (box
has a missing flap and a small spot where the green surface was torn off,
apparently when a price sticker was removed). This is a relatively rare
version, in the late-style packaging. Complete set includes leather case (with
pocket clip), instruction manual. $279.
K+E 68 1287 Log Log Duplex Decitrig Pocket Slide Rule (old 4181-1C). This is actually a 4181-1 under K+E's re-vamped
model numbering scheme; in fact the rule is marked "4181-1" on the
end, just as they were before the new scheme was introduced. It took K+E a few
years to make the numbering-system change-over, and by the time they had, slide
rules were considered obsolete! HERE
is a better photo of the rule, itself. This is a complete NOS set, including
the green leather case with handy pocket clip, manual and care booklet in
original box (box does exhibit some reasonable wear). (Sold)
K+E 68 1215 Log Log Duplex DeciTrig Slide Rule (old 4081-3S). Complete mint
set (photo above). This is the mainline K+E workhorse slide rule, the final,
copyright 1947 scale set, used by technical professionals throughout the world,
realized in mahogany and celluloid. Complete set, with case, manual, and care
booklet. Everything is in mint, unused condition - rule is factory-sealed (box
does show some wear). $1650.
K+E 68 1318 Log Log Duplex Trig Slide Rule (old 4080-3S). Complete mint set (photo above). This is the
reincarnation of the venerable 4080, much like the decitrig, but with the trig
scales marked in units of degree, minutes and seconds instead of decimal degrees.
Beautiful, mahogany construction. Complete set, with case, manual, and
collateral paperwork. Mint, unused condition (box does show some wear). A rare
and truly remarkable, historic item. $4000.
K+E 68 1100 Deci Lon - Their
"flagship" rule, in perfect condition. Complete, mint set includes
Deci Lon slide rule, original box, chamois-lined leather case, belt-clip
attachment, hardcover manual, and care booklet (Sold).
K+E 68-1130 5-inch Deci-Lon Slide Rule, (photo above). This is pretty much
the Holy Grail (if you will) of slide rule collecting: K+E's slide rule
apotheosis, in pocket format, unused-in-box. The box is a little marked-up and
scuffed-up, but the contents are PERFECT. How many of these can there still be
on this earth? These sets didn't come with a manual, but one is included for
your reference. (I suppose the rationale for not including the manual was that
the pocket rule was adjunct to the 10-inch model, which did come with a
manual.) Price includes over-night shipping to any U.S destination. Your
Satisfaction is Guaranteed. (Sold.)
K+E 4185-7 Clip-on Indictor Magnifier (photo above). Mounts on the
indicator of any of these K+E 10" duplex rules, to provide better
visibility and precision. Mounting clips fold up when not in use. Felt pouch,
box. $95.

It is complete with leather case, belt hook attachment, hardcover manual and warrany/care insert. $495
Versalog II Slide Rule No. 1460. The epitome of the Versalog's exemplars; this was the final iteration of the rule with several improvements including the addition of the "A" scale, extension of R2 scale to reduce the need to reset indices, the addition of radian identification on trigonometric scales allowing direct conversion of radians to degrees and vice-versa, color-coded (3rd color, green) trig scales, mathematical notations on scale labels to clarify fnctionality, and several others. This is a flawless, like new, specimen of the model and includes the manual, which is even harder to find than the rule! $375.
"Pocket" Versalog Slide Rule No. 1461. Amazing! This a complete,
boxed set of the pocket version of the 1460, and exactly replicates the

special extension of the standard log-log scales enables calculations into the
range of 10^-9, for working with nanoseconds, etc.; a nice very touch.
