I'd play with the copy camera type of scanning ideas using whatever you have currently to start. A "copy stand" can be your existing tripod, if you have a normal lens and a couple of close up lenses, that can get you into the right magnification range. It's sometimes amazing the quality you can get with just that kind of stuff. :) Obviously, if you want to go with a scanner solution, you have to buy that piece of equipment.
Yeah, current times throws a lot of uncertainty into the game. Being financially conservative now makes good sense. I'm glad I made cash outlay for the big purchases that came earlier this year in the middle of last Summer, when the market was high.
