Scanning them would be a long and laborious process and would necessitate countless re-positioning/re-scanning of the pages to make the images look right. Far too time consuming and tedious for me.
I have considered offering them up for sale, but I would probably ask more than the market would bear, and the shipping cost would be prohibitive (probably 40 pounds of magazines).
I would rather take my approach...it consolidates the information without the extra magazine articles and I still get to keep the info.

Back in '98 when I bought my Vette, the mechanic near my workplace had 'inherited' the paper-bound Corvette parts manuals (two of them), each 1"+ thick. He let me borrow them, and I scanned/copied every page in each for my own use. Took most of a Saturday but I still have them and they are invaluable.

I would be willing to scan your Lugers At Random articles, crop out anything not Kenyon, and compile them sequentially. I don't have PDF capability (that doesn't leave a watermark) but I do have the capability of PSP 10.2 scaling. I'm retired now and don't intend to work a day in my life again, so time is no object.

Sending all at once would be expensive, but as it is time consuming, sending a couple inches at a time would work.

The Post Office has a special rate for 'media mail', so it wouldn't be a great expense.

Since I'm the one who wants them, I would be willing to pay the postage, and make the resulting scans available to members. How could be worked out later.

...My $.02 worth to Luger posterity...

I scanned in about 12 years of monthly articles for the Japanese forum, each newsletter was / is about 15-20 pages

and shipping via media mail would probably be about $30 or so

I have done this twice before
