Would this make it ON-Topic to offer up a 4 x 5 Beseler
for sale cheap?
Dichroic head? How about some stabilization processors? I think that I
already have a taker for my movie/microfilm (not fiche) processing
equipment.

Hmm. Now I understand what the settings on my cheap a** Umax scanner for
"transmissive" vs "Reflective" mean. Is this a normal thing for
scanners
that you can tell them to just turn off the light?
