We bought a Colortrac (4260e) drum scanner. Accepts up to 42" wide, and up to 10mm thick. 300 DPI optical resolution.
While it's been very helpful at times, it usually sits in the corner and gets used only a few times a year. Overall it's probably the only thing we have bought that has not really paid for itself directly. I am sure in other markets, or if we really tried to push scanning services much more, it might do better.
Collecting dust is not good for a scanner... I hope you keep it well covered.
Any local blueprint company should have a really large scanner and, generally, they'll do it for cheap.
