I'd be interested to know what make / size of scanner you're using for these wonderful old images you're posting, albeit the above original being a photograph of the magazine cover.
Cheers,
Jeff.
Unfortunately, I'm not scanning them - some are pinched from ebay so pretty low resolution and consequently hard to play with. The various catalogue pictures are from the A7CA Archive - and even these are only at 300 d.p.i. so far from ideal.
For my own work I use an A4 Epson Perfection V850 Pro, intended for negative work, that will scan up to 12800 d.p.i. optical. However, it's often not necessary to go beyond 800 d.p.i. on most jobs. Here's a decent scan: Ruby-forum-display.jpg and even higher: https://www.lathes.uk/Ruby-download.jpg (on a slow connection that might take some time to download). I also have an A3 scanner, but that only goes to 600 d.p.i. A3 ones beyond that are expensive!
Here are two before and after images from an ebay listing (click on the image for a larger picture):
