Old hand scanners

[Guest]

Has anyone in the UK got one of the old colour hand scanners (the ones
where you had to manually drag the scanner over the paper/image) for
sale???

I need to do some scanning of fabric patterns and it seems to be so much
easier to use one of those rather than cutting the fabric and then
placing it on a flatbed.

If anyone has one that they would be willing to part with (no more than
£10) please email me at adam.davies@gmail.com

Alternatively, a couple of those cheap £4.99 halogen desklamps from B&Q.
