How about slide rules?
bonneyman:
Well, I worked on the latest rule today. Found a body screw (my biggest concern) and cleaned it up. But the faceplate enamel was pretty thin. But the cursor plastic just fell apart while disassembling it. One can be had for $40, but that's not in my budget. So I'll hang on to it to see if an appropriate donor becomes available. Not a bad deal for free.
bonneyman:
Found another unique slide rule today. A circular binary rule. 8" diameter, a bit unusual and will take some getting used to but I think once mastered it will be easier to use that the linear types. Aluminum body, with 3 slides arms. Will also do fractions, and drill and tap sizes. Faux leather carry case and user manual included! Cost me $2.

I have one of those! Yes, it is a bit easier to use once you get used to it.
