Re: Dirty Slides - Update - Or Film at Eleven

Hi Alex,

I have seen it at my local vendor and it works pretty darn good. I have it on my 'list" too. FYI you can get them refurbed from EPSON.

It looks like they are out right now but just call or keep checking their website

I'm also needing to upgrade from my ancient LS2000 which I ran with my old firewire macbook 9.0. Thinking probably this Epson V750. Anybody use this beast?

Yup,

I have a 2720 and Canon will not or cannot write the software to make it click in XP. Chaps my backside. Now I have a useless scanner.

Thanks for the update. I had wondered what would work for you in the end. And cool that you are able to employ that archaic turn of the millennium technology.

After reading all the suggestions carefully looked at the slides that
were dirty and found that the dirt on most of them was on the
non-emulsion side

And as someone suggested I selected a few of the less valuable slides
and experimented a bit.  I think I can gently clean most of them with
distilled water and a q-tip, blotting with a soft tissue to remove the
water.  A gentle puff of air got rid of any lint.

The next step is to get my Canon FS-2710 film scanner going again.  I
found that I can'y get it going under XP but being a pack rat first and
a retired computer tech second I was able resurrect an older machine and
load W2K on to it.   Vuescan needs some Canon files to work.

Thanks for all the suggestions.

Bob
