Slide rules HOME page Sources < SITE MAP >
Slide rule dealers Slide rule dealers can provide you with great slide rules, accurately described, for a reasonable sum. Remember that they are in the business of providing a discontinued commodity, and must maintain their "shop" based on revenue. Their prices tend to be higher, but you truly get what you pay for. They are the easiest source for exceptional quality.

Below is a listing of dealers that I know of. I have not used any of the dealers myself (except for a successful exchange with Dick Rose) nor do I have commercial links with any of them. They are listed here for your convenience. If any dealer finds an error in my synopsis, please let me know.
