redwatch Posted July 12, 2012 Report Share Posted July 12, 2012 I found a Jules Jurgensen vintage chrono on eBay last week and for some insane reason I bought it because I liked the look of the date wheel. I only saw one day, the 19th, but something grabbed me about the font of the date wheel. I hit the "Buy Now" button and crossed my fingers...... Well it arrived today and to my surprise I got this: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

redwatch Posted July 12, 2012 Author Report Share Posted July 12, 2012 Anyone have any suggestions as far as settings for the 1:1 scan? Resolution? Type of scanner? Should I go to a pro scanning shop or just get an off the shelf scanner and scan it myself? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HauteHippie Posted July 12, 2012 Report Share Posted July 12, 2012 Go to a print shop with a quality scanner. Places around here would do something like this for a buck or two. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

janeto72 Posted July 12, 2012 Report Share Posted July 12, 2012 Red, go to a high end printer shop. The best resolution possible at a 1:1 ratio. This means that I will have less work to do if the scan is true 1:1 and i can get a crisp , sharp datewheel fabricated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just bought myself another 7734 DW - a roulette one with a real nasty looking font - so sign me up on your client list janeto! Oh, wait.. I guess I'm kinda on it already.. @red: you the man - period!
