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.
