Frank, I did a quick search and it didn't take long to find one for you. You should look closer because I didn't do more than a very quick scan, there may be better buys out there.
I used a web site allofcraigslist.com and did a search for "large format flat bed scanner" to find these. I found: Epson Expression 1640XL- Graphics Arts Scanner - $500 at https://losangeles.craigslist.org/lac/ele/4890940174.html Large-format color flatbed scanner for professional users •1600 x 3200 dpi hardware resolution •Large-format scanning capability (12.2-by-17.2-inch scanning area) •ColorTrue II Imaging System and 42-bit color depth •High dynamic range (3.6 Dmax) •AutoFocus optics system •USB and SCSI connectivity with optional FireWire® Here is another Large Document Scanner - $86 (Cottage Grove) at http://eugene.craigslist.org/ele/4887813399.html Hope this helps. btw - I scan all the Parker Pages into a searchable pdf format (for my own use) and I find that 300dpi works well. Just saying, you don't need 2400 dpi, or something nuts like that, to scan this kind of stuff. I also like the ability to search the files I create when making the pdf, so I advise you to consider saving the results in searchable PDF format. |

The only caveat I can offer is that you have to make sure that there are device drivers that match your computer's operating system. Don't ask how many hours I wasted discovering that little fact once...
