I regularly scan PCB's -- though I strip them, first

ALL of them.
I'll be stripping an NCD-14c, 19r and 88K in the next week
or two on their way to the trash. I figure documenting the
circuitry is worth more than *they* are :-/

Not necessarily. Of the three that I've tried, none of them had
sufficient field depth to do a decent job. They'd handle the underside
of the board well enough, but couldn't cope with the topside being
raised off the scanner bed a quarter inch or so by the components. On Friday 11 August 2006 11:18 pm, Ethan Dicks

Got a flatbed scanner? They make nice pictures of boards. Got any pictures? I'm curious to see what it
looks like.
Nope, but I do have the boards laying here. Gotta get a digital
camera one
of these days...
