There are some sites with good inventories, but expect to pay an arm and a leg.

That's a bummer. I've got a couple slide rules, though nothing remarkable. At least one of them is a Pickett. I find these special-purpose cardboard "slide rules" rather interesting, for whatever reason.

On a related note, anybody know where to snag one of those CARDIAC cardboard "computers"? It's like part digital computer, part slide rule. It's more an educational aid than an actual tool. I recall there being some NOS available maybe a few years ago.
