Still have my Post ' Versalog ' model. I also, (in my picking travels) have found a hardcover instruction manual for it. (it originally only came with a paper instruction, long gone) Lost all knowledge of how to use since 1972! I have, on the bucket list, to relearn my slide rule, now that I have proper instructions.

Someone is donating 20 boxes of slide rules. He said some of common and some are rare/exotic.
We'll keep the latter and probably sell many of the former at VCF East or whatever.
Ooooo! I still have my K&E Log-Log Duplex Decitrig and case from my HS and college days. I had a second one too (a short 8" SR) but I don't recall the make. I'll need to dig it out of the mothballs. ;)

I just missed being taught them. Did have my relatives slide rules in my 2016 VCF display. http://www.pdp8online.com/shows/vcfe16/pics/P1090150.shtml?small
