How did it work out for you?

Seems scanners are a tough area to crack unless you got very deep pockets. I see they got some cheap Telecine units on ebay. But when it comes to 'frame by frame' units there is not a whole lot out there for home use.

I wrote to a couple of companies that sell some very expensive units and they never bothered to even reply. Wrote them back again, same thing, no reply. Some other companies have stopped selling scan units altogether. I guess they went out of biz or who knows. Does not smack of putting confidence in their biz to fork over $.

How did you do on your quest? Did it work out well for you?

I used a commercial scanner to do some scans. It is $ and the service is poor. (Quality was OK, service was bad.) I was hoping to do 16mm sound scans myself someday.
