Now is this just bizarre, or am I missing some rare exotic version of the N4? ebay item 6248280200 ... Bring words and photos together (easily) with PhotoMail...
They seem to be square root scales, in my case familiar from the FC 62/83N. /Lennart ... -- !++ ! Lennart Börjeson ! Starrängsringen 2 ! S-115 50 STOCKHOLM ...
It is bizarre, I don't see anything unusual about that rule either. When I bought mine, I paid in the low $40's. It looks like auction fever. Jerry ... of the...
Hi Simon, I have no idea what is going on with this N4 and a couple recent previous auctions that went so high. Is it the same person buying them? I don't...
Thanks to those who have written. I'm pretty sure which room thet're in but not which box. It'll be a few weeks before I can move boxes to find the rules and...
Hi All, If you remember a fellow of this forum, Matteo Munari who is based in Italy offered us the possibility to get Sun Hemmi 259D sile rule NIB and still...
Dear Slide Rule Group Owners, I am technically not a slide ruler collector although my household does contain 2 such devices -- neither available for sale....
Pardon me but, these statements about musical instruments are just a little bit off. For one thing, instruments made by Stradivari are not from the ...
Hello Everyone; I hope everyone here has been well during my absence. I left the country for awhile to work, then was out of State on work. During my last...
Hi again; I could not resist contributing an interesting slide rule problem before I went back to work again. You know me :-) Using the equation s=1/2*g*t^2...
It's been thirty years since I owned a sliderule, when I left the Marine Corps I left mine in the hands of my replacement, thinking I could always get...
... Interesting. I'd never thought of this. What would be done, if one wanted to safely play the instrument? Could they be slowly brought up to a high humidity...
Simon- I think perhaps the better question is "are the bidders and seller from AZ?" Every now and then these SR syndicate people from Scottsdale or Phoenix...
... Well, let's try this: rephrase the original expression as S/t^2 = g/2. set rule as C(2)/D(316) = C(t^2)/D(20000) which give C(t^2) = 1265. Move cursor so...
I have a very similar rule branded as Post. No doubt it dates from the WWII years, when Post's normal supplier (Hemmi) was not available (to put it mildly)....
2 answers....and since they deal with wood they might even be related to ancient slide rules, too 1. The older wind instruments are generally in such a state...
To all who look for the SR group for honest direction- Looks like those running this site are more interested in covering up than opening up to the truth. The...
Speaking as an engineer, and one with a fair amount of education and expertise with wood design and construction, I would have to say it would be quite...
I'm going to take each statement in turn but, first I should give you something about my background for what I'm talking about. I was a professional orchestra...
I don't see any evidence of price fixing, just an example of irrational exuberance (or bidding frenzy). I have no idea who redactor99 is but I have recently...
Although EBay is getting a bit of a caning on this list at the moment, have a look there anyway. There seem to be slide rules selling there for $US10 (+/- a...
... Well, well. Rob didn't get the SR he wanted because someone out bid him. Rob, there is a simple solution. If you want an item, figure out how much it is...
... Boy, old age, late hours and fatigue will take its toll. I hadn't anymore than wrote an incomplete solutiona and hit the send button when the egg hit my...
I fail to see where there is evidence of price fixing here. As far as the prices are concerned, a slide rule, as well as anything auctioned, is worth what...
Miles, I couldn't agree more. I certaintly don't see any connection between any of the transactions mentioned and Walter Shawlee. When I've dealt with him,...
Goodness gracious, well you got your post printed, but I have to heartily disagree. The fact that at times any of us may participate in a bidding frenzy --...
Rob, Most of the people in the slide rule group know Walter and no one's going to believe any accusations against him without any evidence. There have been...
Rob: I can assure you that Walter (Walter2) is a person of the highest standard and would never be involved in such shady dealings as you suggest. I have dealt...
All- Walter was merely one of the bidders in one of the suspicious auctions. His bidding stopped when the bidding got ridiculous. It goes to show how the...
