I have been inspecting the prints in the library of the SF Art Institute for the past year. I have found that the magnasync viewers are the best. The screen is much larger and scratches, dust, dirt, etc are more definable. They are not cheap and difficult to find. This is the poor man's way of goding things. A flatbed may scratch especially in rewind or fast forward, etc. If you need editing equip email me off the list. I still have some items.
