Gauging interest for scanning old Rotary Rocket magazines
Hey guys, my friend's father who owned a 79 sa, recently passed a good portion of his collection of old RX-7 memorabilia down to me. I am wondering if there is any interest for scanning some of these ancient magazines and posting 'em up on the forums. I am going to include a couple of scans in this post to give you guys an idea of what they looked like.
If there is interest I could probably scan one a week or something like that.

Alright then, this is the size and resolution I am going to scan them at, tell me if you are happy with it and I will go ahead and start working on this project. Here are the first 4 pages from the first issue I will scan in its entirety.

I've been kickin' myself for years for letting my collection of these magazines get lost between all my moves. Your scans look fantastic. Thank you so much for the effort. Much appreciated!

If you can put each mag together into a pdf that would make it very easy for anyone to download an read em. Need a site to host em on though.
You get em scanned and I can pdf them together. Just need a place to host the pdf files. I wonder if I can put them up under flicker as pdfs?
I'll try it out later this week and see what I come up with.
These are great, I remember buying a couple when I first had my 7.

I'd love to host them at Vintage Rotaries too. If you can't find time to scan them all, I'll even scan them for you and return them to you. I'm trying to build a library of all the old magazines, ads and manuals that most of us will never see in person. PM me if you're interested.
