So, I spent some time over the weekend scanning pages from a 1954-vintage Magna dealer’s binder with lots of interesting content for the Magna/Shopsmith history buffs out there. The trouble is there were a lot of pages to scan, so the resulting files are fairly large (5-15MB each, and there are 7 or so representing the various sections of the binder).
Can anyone recommend a spot where I can upload these for access by the community?

There is a bunch of SS stuff on Vintage Machinery.
http://vintagemachinery.org/
I don't know if they have a file size limit.

Thanks, John. I’ve contributed a number of Shopsmith items there myself. If I recall correctly, their file size limit is too small, but I’ll check again.

Thanks, Ben. I was hoping to find an existing repository, but will host them myself if necessary.

John,
Setting it up on a google drive like Everett has done for the larger documents he has restored may be the easiest way to go for access by the forum group. I know I find it an easy way to access Everett's documents. There is the Service section of the Dealer's Manual from around 1957 already there in Everett's Google Drive scanned by Forum Member amboyna several years ago that Everett cleaned up nicely and posted. I don't believe Everett has been doing document restorations for posting there lately.
