I agree, you really just have to try and run a test through with a
representative page from the document with fine detail and see how it comes
out ... I have found that even fairly fine detail reproduces okay with a
300 DPI scan ... there's no need in scanning with extraneous bit depth and
then you start to get people complaining about file sizes :O

The problem I've found with scans is that even at 600 dpi you lose detail
necessary to make use of a lot of the material in these types of manuals
(especially parts designations and values on schematics). It is amazing
just how high the print quality is for many of these 1950s/60s/70s
manuals.
