BX picture wanted--dead or alive

Post by djg » Mon Jul 31, 2017 9:23 pm

You probably all know the sales brochure cover picture:

I'd really love to have it in 1280 pixels wide or more but with reasonable sharpness and quality, not like this. I read the whole web, twice, and it's nowhere to be found.

Are you looking for the exact same picture? May I ask why? I have 8 sales brochures with photos taken from different angles, but I have never scanned any, so don't know how they would turn out.

Because I've been using this same picture as the front page header picture of my site for about fifteen years. I always liked it, probably because my BX was red with yellow lights everywhere, although Series 2.

But in the new layout I need it in a larger size. I'm currently using this resized version but the other two pictures in the slides are nice and sharp, so this one sticks out like a sore thumb.

I bought the XM brochure (the black silhouette one) on eBay in order to scan it and I worked on it for two days to remove all imperfections. But as a result, I now have a meter-wide poster on my wall... [emoji1]

Let me see, when was that, in June? We exchanged a few mails about B8 sockets then. Some of them with pictures.
