[SEL] O.T. Need 35mm Slide Scanner & Viewer

[Paul Maples]

Well Lew for me that would be another problem as I no longer have a 35mm 
slide projector. I was hoping that someone had a slide scanner that they had 
used to scan their slides with and now that they were scanned they no longer 
needed it and I could buy it.

I have talked to some people who tried to use a flat bed scanner with a 35mm 
slide adaptor and they got very poor results, There has to be a better way 
to do that spend several hundred dollars which is not laying around in my 
house at the moment.

I will hang loose for a little while and see what, if anymore, suggestions 
come in from the folks on the list, they have never let me down before and I 
am betting they will come through this time although this is non-engine 
related.

I appreciate your come back and ideas,

Paul
