> But there is still one question: Do you need OCR or just an image per page?
I scanned roughly the same amount that you require. I used a regular copier that can scan to PDFs. It was a 1 to 1 conversion i.e., one page of hardcopy to one page of softcopy. It was tedious. The PDFs aren't searchable, but at least the hardcopy has been digitized. Frankly, given the age of your material I don't think having a searchable PDF is necessary. Due to the size of the manuals, you will probably require the version of Adobe that allows PDFs to be combined (Adobe Professional?). I assume that you don't want to pay a copying service to perform this work.
