Title: Weber catalogs
Post by: smchrist on May 20, 2020, 05:59:18 PM
WKC has a great collection of old catalogs at https://weberkettleclub.com/old-weber-catalogs/.  Unfortunately there are some years missing and they stop at 1983.  I did a search and last year a member offered up a beautiful 1994 catalog, but it was never uploaded.  I would love to see more catalogs added to this library; it's a great resource.

@smchrist, do you have the link to the post, or the member's name?  We can probably get one of the mods to add it if it's still available.

@Troy @SixZeroFour @Cellar2ful - Fellas, if @michaelmilitello gets his '94 catalog scanned and @Kneab gets his '91 catalog scanned, can they send them to one of you to be added to the Catalog section?

I only have access to a color scanner at work.  Is there and efficient way to do it with out taking the staples out of the catalog?   It’s about 20+ pages.  With Adobe’s better versions, I think you can splice separate scans together?   I need some help.

Yes of course, that would be great if we could get copies!

@michaelmilitello
I can certainly help adding each of the scans into one pdf file if that's what you need assistance with. As for the actual scanning, I was able to lay previous copies flat and get good scans of each page without removing staples or causing any extra wear. Depending on the size of the scanner you can usually make it work. You could also take photos of each page as best as possible and then it could be bundled into a PDF

I don’t know if this helps at all but you can scan documents with an iPhone camera by just going into the notes app, adding a new note and clicking the camera icon then selecting scan documents. After scanning they can be emailed to yourself to access on a computer for easier uploading to a website. Again don’t know if this helps but just putting it out there.

That works!  I did a few pages.   I have to play with the lighting.   I’ll work on it this weekend.

Once I get the time to scan my catalog where should I send it?

I’m delinquent.   I’ll work on it tomorrow.  The glossy pages make it really difficult to get scans right with my iPhone.
