Where do I buy slide cleaning and stroing equipment?

[jc109]

Hello guys,

I know absolutely nothing about photography and really need some advice.

My brother has taken custody of our Dad's old slides and we're hoping to prepare them for scanning and save them all in digital format to then give back to him at some point soon.

We've discovered that dust can be a huge issue and I've been doing some research on what to get for both cleaning and storage, but can't find any suppliers.

I've had a look on ebay and I've done the Yellow Pages thing to no avail.

I live in WA and my brother lives in Melbourne so we could pick up from either area. Alternatively I'd be more than happy to buy on line and have the stuff sent to my bro.

For preparation I'm thinking of getting an anti-static brush or gun and some compressed air in cans. For storage I'm thinking of getting some archive sleeves and ring binders and putting them all back into my dad's original steel trunk. Do you guys have any other recommendations?

And finally, and most importantly, where on earth do I go to buy this stuff?

Thanks,

James

Please excuse my spelling. Obviously I meant 'storage'.

try the big cammera shops that sell to the Pro photographers.

Thanks John.

Any suggestions as to who exactly I might try?

I've done a search on-line and nothing obvious jumped out at me.

James,

Pec-12 looks like it may be just what you are after.
