You’ve done so much hard work and obviously spent a lot of time modifying flatbed film scanners — may I ask why you didn’t purchase a drum scanner?
I love my old flatbeds and I too have experimented with liquid mounting (in film cleaner — which saves a lot of time), but the drums win on quality every time.
