the flying fish 1003 has 34 scales but 5 of them are dual: black numbers read left to right and red numbers right to left. The Pickett n3 and n4 have one dual...
Do we ever see manuals for the 1003 or 1004? "old14753" offers one of each every week or so on eBay, accompanied only by the plastic case. Do his/her prices,...
Yes, I do think his/her prices are a bit steep, but these are uncommon rules. One of our members from Singapore, Cthulhufatagn, was selling these from time to...
I am not sure what you mean about dual labelled scales. I have just recounted the 1003 scales and still get 34, 17 on each side. This *did not* include the...
I see another analon on ebay. This makes two in a short period of time. Looks as if some one found a source of MIB analons from somewhere. The price maybe...
... Ah, the fondest dream of any slide rule collector<G>! To find a cache of a really rare specimen, then sell it on eBay for a really big price... Truth to...

I bought a brand new slide rule last night at a local art and educational supply store. Unfortunately it was not sold as a math education tool but as a drawing...
I have to second Marion's count. There are 34 (17 on each side) separate scales on my FF 1003. This is not counting any of the dual labelled scales. Bill ... ...
It's the same seller as the last one, which went for $633, and had 6 people bidding in the >$300 range. I don't think he'll have any trouble getting his price...
Adam, these devices have been available to the graphics industry for mmany years. Many artists are completely baffled by the reduction or increase per centages...
If the bidders had any idea how many of these complete sets he has stashed, they would be suspicious, like me, that he is getting rid of the junk ones (with...
... My point exactly! The lucky duck probably came across a boxful of Analon sets from the estate of a stationer or drafting supplies store owner. A dream come...

I have three lighters with slide rule logos or a working slide rule. They can be seen at: http://www.slideruleguy.com/col_lighters_etc.htm. Jay Francis...
Quote from below: "The Analon was a good SR, but they have the same inherant problems as most other plastic rules." I'm just wondering - what would be those...
I was referring to the "obvious" inherant problems of plastic slide rules. That is, those problems aside from the aesthetic difficulties most people have...
John, Wasn't there a discussion of some problems with the Ananlon a couple of years ago? I remember Joe Soper explaining that there was some problem in the...

Perhaps its just a bit too early for me this morning, but I still don't understand what are 'the "obvious" inherent problems of plastic slide rules, other than...
Hi, Lost my email address book a little while back. Dave Rueb, if you are there, please email me. Thanks. And anyone else who would like to hear from me,...
Hi- That would be interesting if someone can recall a couple of years ago if there was a discussion about problems in the production of the Analon. The...
I know this has been discussed before, and I think the consensus was the Dietzgen didn't make all of their rules (maybe not any). I have two 1732's right now...
Over the past few years, I have acquired (there is that collector's term again) or bought about 35 or so very late model slide rules c. 1970. Most of them are...
Roger, Jim, John, et al: The problem K&E had with the first (and only) run of Analons was blooming around the characters colored with red ink. The formulation...

Jeff- et al: I have heard of the inking problem also. The first Will Reid (SR K&E analon) message mentioned that any Analons with surface (working side)...
