In case anyone's interested, I had to replace my old scanner, so I bought a Canon LiDE 220 which is a decent and inexpensive general-purpose scanner. However it does have a plastic raised edge surrounding the glass surface, which is a problem for 78s. The edge is mainly there for lining up one's 8 1/2 x 11 document, so I took a Swiss army knife and chopped off one of the long edges. Now I can lay my 10" discs flat and it works great. The warranty is voided, but that's ok. Only caveat is that by removing that plastic strip, I exposed a 1/8" opening where dust can get in, so I need to plug up that opening with something.
