I have a three-year-old Microtek X6 that is starting to show some odd-colored vertical lines and a lot more noise than it
used to, or maybe I'm getting more picky. Has anyone else noticed this kind of behavior?
It's my feeling that maybe I have a few pixel rows starting to fade, and the noise is possibly coming from having been transported so often---I even dragged it on a plane to Iowa once to capture some old family photos. Next time I'll just buy a new one while there, this one cost $89 and was dusty as hell by the time I got it there, and the jostling could be why it's acting odd now. Could also be dirty mirrors inside, I'll check that out tonight.
It is also my feeling that I need to dump it immediately and buy an Epson 2450, but there may be other motivation
involved... ;D
And this right before xmas---I'm restoring some old b/w for xmas framing that I can't really get right because the scans are too noisy! Any advice?
