[Central-Electronics] Restored full sized 200V schematic

[LeeCraner at aol.com]

Paul:
 
I took it to FedEx Office and had them scan it at 300 dpi on their  
"blueprint" scanner.  Cost $7.50.  Since the original was torn at most  of the 
folds, I used "Post-it tape" (a great product, post it note glue on a  paper 
tape roll) to keep the original together when it ran through the  scanner.
 
After scanning I spent about 12 hours on Photoshop CS2 to clean up the  
scan, removing the crease lines and prior owner notations, artifacts, etc.   
That created a 67 Mbyte file (22" x 300dpi x 34" x 300dpi).  I then opened  
the file up in Acrobat 8 and immediately saved it.  That invokes the .pdf  
loss less file compression that created the 4 Mbyte file on my web site.

Very  nice Lee
Thanks
I have same for 100V and thought of doing the same  thing. Did you take to 
someplace to scan it? What resolution did you  use?
