A gift from a friend who has left his photography behind as he pursues woodwork.
Can't wait to get it operational - I have sooo many 6x6 slides and negatives to scan.
Cheers

Thanks Mo.
A few challenges ahead before it is operational.
It is a SCSI connection - so locate a suitable SCSI card. Find an old PC to install the SCSI card into and locate some suitable software to run on a version of windows that will support it.
Hahaha - could take a while Smile
However this is a top shelf drum type scanner that produced professional results in its day, and I would very much like to get it running once more.

Great! From what I read back then it was a quite good scanner. Perhaps not as good as top notch drum scanners like Heiderlberger Tango, but very likely better than alls scanners amateurs normaly can afford.
