Looking for Jan 1951 Western Machinery and Steel World

I am looking for Jan 1951 Western Machinery and Steel World that someone has that can do a 300 dot per inch scan of just the pages with pictures for me.
I am trying to restore a number of documents for the world-wide Shopsmith Community that are pretty illegible and this is one of the historical documents that I would like to do in the future.
I am trying to procure and preserve electronically a number of historically significant documents that are growing increasingly hard to find, before they are lost to history.
I would greatly appreciate any assistance a forum member could provide. At one point Dusty posted a pdf scan of one. I am looking to get images in a png or jpg file format from an original copy.
Can anyone assist?

I have a copy but I guess you want a scan of the original?
In the interest of your preservation efforts I have an original of the Popular Science article from 1950 titled "Dr. G's Motorized Tool Kit". I also have an original add from The Man's Magazine that shows the MK V. The add is by Magna. Email me Everett and I can give you a list of the other original documents I have.

Thank you John.
I think a copy may be all that exists and I would be honored to have a scan of yours at 300 dots per inch to try and work from.
I will email you as you requested.

Hi Everett,
I was looking for a scan of my copy today. I found it but did I ever send it to you?

I notice that the digital file on the ERdocs group was posted by Skip Campbell back in 2008. Check with him when he gets back from vacation, he may have an original that he could rescan at a higher resolution.

ps I notice that the file in the link above is at a higher resolution than the one you posted above.

Curious. That's where the one I got came from.

I could be wrong about the resolution, but the cover you posted above is in colour and shows "artefacts" in the picture, the file in the link is black and white and the picture doesn't have the polka dots.

I do not have a color one at all. Never seen one. Are you saying it was scanned by someone in color format before I obtained a copy?

Sorry, I thought this one in the first post must have been scanned in colour as the paper looks yellowed and that wouldn't come through unless it was scanned in colour.
