How much would be the cost of buying the scanner on its own and the necessary equipment to store the scan? In addition, I'm sure some film scanning facilities would accept the job if they are run by someone who feels similarly to the folks here. *

* This is all hypothetical since it is in regards to copyrighted material that has never been released for general public consumption, unlike the Laserdiscs.
