Who scans vintage records (78s) for an annual auction list.
Any recommendations for a scanner/printer/fax with a flush-mount glass?
Thanks,
Jim

I was just about to contact you with a question. My old scanner, I think
an HP Officejet Pro 7600 (or 7650 ... or something like that) died over
the summer. I replaced it with an 8600. Everything works well, including
the scanner for letter sized items. However, it's now impossible to make
clear pictures of record labels as the printer glass plate is situated
about a quarter inch below the plastic surface of the scanner. Records
beyond 7" in size won't lie flush on the plate. I used to just lie the
record on the glass plate and then make the label copy without problems
but now the prints are fuzzy (as the focus is directed directly toward the
plate).

Have you any suggestions as to what I might get as a replacement
combination printer-scanner (and fax machine)?  If not, any suggestion as
to another scanning unit would be greatly appreciated. I should have kept
the old machine just for scanning (the printer portion died) but I left it
with the repair people when they advised that fixing it would cost more
than a new unit.
