I would call and ask them what "high resolution" means to them. I can do 4800dpi, and 9600dpi interlaced. I'm betting that they'll do something like 1200dpi, in order to be able to produce a 4x6 print. On top of that, $50 is pretty outrageous, unless you have some old slides that you'd like to bundle in and lower the per piece cost.

I see a couple of places about 1.5 hours from you that may be worthwhile.

This place probably has the equipment and the ability, but they don't mention details. Give them a call and see what they say: https://uptowncolor.com/hard-copying/

This place specificies 4000dpi; I'll bet they can do higher and just think most people won't need it. http://phototechlabs.com/
 
Once I get scans complete, I'm going to put them in a Dropbox folder for everyone to get to, play with, see what they find. I have a lot of experience with film, and a fair amount of experience with Photoshop, but it sounded like there was one other person who might have more Photoshop experience than me. This way, everybody can try anyting they want on the raw scans.
 
I agree that this should be an open project for everyone to contribute. I hope people will go into it with open mind with whatever results are shown, if any. I still think some people are going to still question the results no matter what.
 
Agreed, I'm expecting the resolution to still mean there's discrepancies that can't be absolutely proven one way or another.
 
I think our biggest challenge is still going to be 1631 or 1831 going off what I viewed. But imo if the others prove to be 16xx's, I see no reason to think its anything other than 1631.

Again, based on my hypothesis that five ships have high 16XX numbers and five ships have low 17XX numbers, possibly indicating a recent update to the Starship Class vessels, makes the most logical sense to me. But I didn't make the chart :)

Reminds me of what I whipped up for a prequel idea I had way back in 2001 featuring Captain April's time on the Enterprise

USS Enterprise NCC-1701, Constitution Class Starship. The newest of twelve ships in this class, with three more currently under construction. Six of the ships are Cherokee class vessels upgraded to Constitution specs. One is a Constitution prototype upgraded to the final Constitution specs. The Enterprise has a crew complement of 220. It is armed with lasers and photon torpedoes. This is it's first five year mission. Since it is twenty years prior the Kirk era, the ship may look somewhat different internally and externally, but should be identifiable as the same Enterprise from the original Star Trek series.
When the Constitution class ship design proved successful and was completed ahead of schedule Starfleet decided to upgrade the last of the Cherokee class ships still under construction to Constitution specs and modify several existing Cherokee class ships as well. A previous prototype for the Constitution class, NX 1697 was also upgraded to the final Constitution class specifications as well.

NCC 0956 USS Eagle Upgraded Cherokee Class
NCC 1017 USS Constellation Upgraded Cherokee Class
NCC 1317 USS Republic Upgraded Cherokee Class
NCC 1657 USS Potemkin Upgraded Cherokee Class
NCC 1664 USS Excalibur Upgraded Cherokee Class
NCC 1672 USS Exeter Upgraded Cherokee Class
NCC 1697 USS Essex Constitution prototype version 1.0
NCC 1700 USS Constitution Constitution prototype version 2.0
NCC 1701 USS Enterprise Constitution Class
NCC 1703 USS Hood Constitution Class
NCC 1709 USS Lexington Constitution Class
NCC 1717 USS Yorktown Constitution Class
NCC 1764 USS Defiant Constitution Class (under construction)
NCC 1831 USS Intrepid Constitution Class (in development)
NCC 1895 USS Endeavour Constitution Class (in development)

I don't recall where I got the numbers. Maybe MA mixed with other sources. But I was determined to make it all "work".
