Looking to speed up your Super 8 film scanning but not ready to step up to a pricey, professional rig? Then might want to take after Flickr user Photobsen, who rigged up this system that relies on an old floppy drive, a flatbed scanner, some parts from a vintage Super 8 viewer, and a good bit of know-how. Unfortunately, there's no detailed plans for building your own, but the rig is apparently able to scan Super 8 film at a rate of 80 seconds of film per hour completely unattended -- although we wouldn't blame you if you sat and admired your handiwork for a while after piecing one of these together.
DIY scanner cuts out the hassle, keeps the fun of Super 8 film scanning (http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/25/diy-scanner-cuts-out-the-hassle-keeps-the-fun-of-super-8-film-s/) originally appeared on Engadget (http://www.engadget.com) on Mon, 25 Jan 2010 23:02:00 EST.
