We've been looking at those too, both the high-end Zeutschels on the used market and some of the new Chinese ones that seem to actually be pretty good. This may or may not be a useful suggestion, but if you want to come out here and scan a bunch of stuff for LSSM, I'll make sure one of those scanners is available by then, and you can scan your stuff too.

I had thought about investing in one of those ~$500 desktop book scanners for myself. I have collections of home computer club newsletters that I'd like to scan into structured PDF files... and maybe offer to do small batches of material from places like your museum and VCF on occasion.

Well, in that case, I wish you lived closer.
We get lots of people saying they'd like to volunteer at LSSM. But they quickly learn that that means WORKING, not sitting around playing with PDP-11s, so they don't last long.
Starting to get pretty sick of it.
