Eric,
I saw that the sphere web site has them too. Price seems to
be in the $60 range. I think our high school chem or physics
teacher put together a large order, and probably got us both an
educational and a volume discount, so I won't pass any judgement
on sphere's price, although I'm sure we didn't pay anywhere near
that for our's.

I used to have one like that! I probably still do in a box someplace.
It IS a cool slide rule even though I got it after I got a calculator (mid 70-s).
