If you can't find a slide rule locally or on Ebay, you could always make your own from the templates available here:

I built the Yokota Log-Log rule at that site, and it works well for this. Don't build the first one (unless you want to just for fun), because it lacks the S scale.

There are also some nifty Java slide rule simulation pages here:

Hey, I appreciate you posting these links. I'm checking them out as soon as I get done typing this. Always excited about trying out alternative tools and methods for plotting. Too fun. Thanks again. lol about font.

EDIT: That sphere website sells them. I'm gonna buy one but I need you to tell me which kind is best. From your posts, I assume an A/B scale with S?
