[filmscanners] RE: 3 year wait

No Mike, I have not actually seen either the HR6000 or the 7000 in person -
only pictures.  As I said I was lead to believe this and was merely passing
on info I was given, which evidently was inaccurrate.   I am willing to
accept what you say since it is not only plausable but you have the actual
machines and the experience.

However, right or wrong, I am finding the give and take most informative and
educational even if I am on the wrong end of the accurracy guage more often
than not.   Corrections by others only helps me increase my awaredness and
information.  So thank you for taking the time to engage me in this
conversation and even to refute me when necessary.

I think there is no chance of that having happened.  I had
a HR6000, and it's a 3" tube one.  A 7" tube (plus it's
coils, etc) probably wouldn't even fit into a HR6000's
case -- and the camera would have to be a completely different
one because the lens would likely have to be different to focus
the different sized image properly (they are fix-focus).

Have you seen a HR6000 that was the size of the 7000/8000?  The
HR6000 looks identical to a 5000 or 5000s excepting for the
model label and is maybe one third the volume of the 7000. Not
even close!
