Hi there.  I have three broken scanners leftover from the batch that I
had.  They are guaranteed not to work...  They are leftover remants of
the scanners I was selling previously...  They might be useful for parts
for projects, etc...

Some useful parts include:
- Power Supply and cord, 
- Motherboard with controller chips and SCSI and centronics connectors, 
- Servo Motor and cable drive assembly with sliding contact bearings
- Flourescent light power supply and control assembly (light bulb not incl)
- CCD Lens and focusing mirrors (most useful item in the assembly)
- Plastic scanner case and glass (doesn't include flip-lid)

Looking to sell all three locally, but I will ship if neccessary
(shipping extra)...  You can buy all three and try to get one working
one out of them... Will include a copy of the controlling software and
manual for the scanner.  If you buy all three I will give you a copy of
the technical repair manual for them...

Offer at $40 apiece, or $100 for all three.  Looking to clear them out
of my closet.  Very open to trades of all kinds...

email me if you have any bit of interest...

For Sale:  NEW Xerox Flat Bed Full Page Scanner
                (Capable of 450dpi and 256 Grays within Macintosh software)
 
Model:  Xerox DataCopy 730GS
 
I've recently acquired a few NEW Xerox Full Page flat bed scanners.
It's scanning area is larger than the standard 8.5x11" piece of paper
(actual scanning area is size A4).  The line art is quite excellent, and I
often find it difficult to distinguish between the original and a
laser-printout of the image.  Front control panel includes brightness
selection buttons.  The 450dpi/256 grey-scale images are most impressive
though.
 
I'm including a copy of the software that originally shipped with the
scanner.  This is MacImage, an image acquisition/editing program
developed by Xerox.  I'm also including AccuText, which is an OCR
package developed by Xerox for use with these and other scanners.  I've
used this software to scan in and read documents with 100% accuracy  
(Mechanical Engineering Newsletter MECAL).  I was quite impressed...
 
The scanner is also controlled through a plug-in module that works with
PhotoShop.  It's real handy since the software I used to use it with was
real crappy and I had to import into PhotoShop anyhow.  Under the file
menu, all you need to do is choose ACQUIRE, and it brings in the image
automatically under PhotoShop.
 
Both Photoshop and Macimage allow DETAILED scanning at 450dpi with 256
greyscales.  A 1-inch blowup of a photograph full-screen (14" monitor)
could not reveal any evidence of the scanning resolution.
 
Note: The original software that shipped with the scanner came in a
separate box.  Through transit, etc.  These boxes were speated.  SO I
only have one copy of the OCR and imaging software.  Since the software
ws shipped with each scanner I belive that each ownership of the scanner
is entitlement to a lisense of the software.  Therefore I'm sure that it
is legal for me to give a non-original copy of the software with the
scanner.  The software manuals are generally useless as well.
  
It connects through the SCSI port and can be configured with as SCSI
ID.  Original boxes, manual, and packing materials are included as well.
One SCSI port-internally terminated.  DIP switches for selecting the
SCSI ID.
 
The manual for the scanner is a general info guide on bulb/fuse, etc
replacment, and how to clean the inside of the glass, etc.  I only have
one of these manuals so, I will make a photocopy of the manual for each
of you.
 
Looking in recent catalogues and magazines, I've seen the HP ScanJet IIP
selling for around $600 (300dpi, 8-bit, 256 Greys).  The AppleOneScanner
goes for a little more, although not much more, $700 (300dpi, 8-bit, 256
Greys).  
 
I'll give a thirty-day guarantee against failure.  The scanners are NEW,
they smell NEW, and they are spotless.  
 
Let me know what you think.  I'm also open to trades.  You never know
what strange unwanted equipment I might be interested in.  Give me a try!
Send me a DETAILED list of what you have and how much you think it's
worth.
 
Please email if you have even the slightest bit of interest!
