Start out with a K&E bamboo rule like this one. https://www.ebay.com/itm/Vintage-K-E-Keu...2826379193 They aren't expensive, and they feel much better than plastic or aluminum models. And they should look and feel retro after all. This is a very common model and likely has all the scales you'd want to explore. Note: In the photos, the slide is installed backward (or maybe upside-down is more correct?) but you just simply pull it out and insert so that the scales match (C with D, A with B, CF with DF, etc.). --Bob Prosperi |
