I have 6-7 rolls of slide film (Kodak, Kodachrome 64) that I shot back in 1984. They slides were stored in the carousel's I use with the projector. (My bad.) Recently I dug up the slides and decided to scan them into my computer for archive and enhancement. Much to my surprise, what looked fine when projected on a wall or screen, actually had a fine blue & green grit covering the entire slide which was picked up by my scanner. (HP_Scanjet 5370C with transparency adapter.) I called Kodak customer support and they have told me that Kodachrome from that period in time was highly susceptible to growing a fungus, which is what I am seeing in my scanned images. The suggestion was to use a strong Isopropyl solution and a cotton ball to clean. Haven't found anything stronger than rubbing alcohol which is about a 4% solution. I've tried using PEC-12, a film cleaning solution and haven't seen much of an improvement.
Besides recreating the trip, any other suggestions on dealing with this problem?
