Martin:

I recently bought an almost unused Howtek 6500 (will scan up to 16x20!)
through a former Howtek sales manager. If anyone is interested, he knows of
several other 4500 and 7500's for sale, he says in excellent condition (and
he certainly steered me right!).  Contact me off-list if you are interested.
