Dale,
Re scanning odd-sized objects, do you need to scan non-flat items, e.g.,
non-document objects that don't lie perfectly flat? I don't know if
anybody tests depth-of-field or uniformity of illumination for objects not
directly on the flatbed. Would be interesting to hear anecdotal evidence.

Ah, not a problem. Someone on eBay rounded down. It is 11.7x17 which
is just right.
Thanks for the pointer.
You did not say how much you are willing to spend, but cheap A3
machines with real SANE support (not some binary garbage) are not very
common. I would be inclined to look for used Fujitsu. Mike Wirth was
offering an fi-4750 just a couple weeks ago. Even better, there are a
number of used fi-5750C

I have been perusing the various offerings in the A3 flatbed scanner niche as
a replacement for my painfully slow Mustek A3 1200Pro, which does not even
scan the entire 12x17 area, making it actually pretty useless for some
things.
I can hardly imagine a more experience crew than here on the topic
