    Re: DIY mounting station for drum scanner... anyone?

    After years of sitting unused, the rubber roller on my Howtek mounting station dissolved into a gross mess. I couldn't find a replacement anywhere and wound up sourcing neoprene hose from McMaster Carr. It works ok but I don't think it's perfectly round and I get uneven pressure. I've been able to get 4x10's mounted ok by pulling the end of the acetate tight as I tape it down. I can't imagine I would have much success with 8x10's though and as I continue to scan more and more I'm considering ponying up for one of Aztek's new stations.

    Chris,
    The mounting station that comes with Screen scanners doesn't have rollers at all so consider yourself lucky! After the mylar is taped down, I take strips 1/2" tape and strectch the open areas around the film to remove bubbles, etc. My 8x10's may have 20 strips of tape but the mylar is flat.

    Hoping I can take you up on this offer. Interested to know if you have had success using this DIY mounting station, would love to make one of my own.
