I can't help with tesseract advice - when I wanted to do the same thing I found it easier to write a custom OCR for this specific problem from scratch. It's very much an experiment and a work-in-progress (although I've not worked on it for about a year I'm afraid) but you might find something helpful from the discussion or the code: https://retrocomputingforum.com/t/custom-ocr-for-printer-listings/4016 and http://gtoal.com/src/OCR/
However you *will* need to do better scans using a flatbed scanner if you still have access to the originals. Those scans are unusable - the pages in the recent one had not been laid flat - it looks like they were taken with an overhead camera..
