You must have your scanner set to make PDF's instead of JPG's. Open them in your PDF reader and save them as JPG's.Ruddy hell I've been stuck on my PC this afternoon scanning pictures in, I gave up in the end,I'm hopeless with tech.
I'll have to try again.
Here's a couple from 1992 The 40 series had just been launched. The 7840 cost 23k new and I remember having to fit a TB turbo kit to turn the Standen turbo four beet harvester pictured. It was a good tractor and served us well
Skew bars were no good to us when on wold land, too many big stones. This had feeler wheel toppers and four 20" rows. Tractor set at 80" with 12" tyres. I didn't have this harvester long as it took too much pulling. Might have been better on duals looking back.Skew bar toppers? Same harvester as that on the 956 in my pics above, it had a TBTurbo too. 4 rows, 17" apart, then a 20" wheeling. Worked well.

Spectrum replaced Turbo 3 and 4 along with their Sceptre harvesters in around 94 IIRC. They did indeed have skew bars or scalper topping along with various different cleaning options. They never really caught on though as by that time 3 row trailed tanker and 6 row sp machines were well and truly in vogue.Now I'm on puter instead of phone, I can see your pics more clearly. The one I was involved with was a Standen Spectrum - maybe the successor to the turbo4?
