Not scanned yet (some are) but in boxes ready to scan you bet I have.
Couple hundred SNES ones, plenty of NES, some Game Boy, DS, Genesis/Mega Drive, N64.
Of course never ones too but I prefer the good oldies getting preserved first.

My crazy one last weekend was playing Little Samson for 20 some odd hours so I could get pixel-accurate screen shots to do a manual rebuild. Turned out pretty good. Cover uses the box art so it's obvious it's a repro, but otherwise the rest of the manual looks pretty spiffy. ;)

Please do share.

As for good scanning, only problem are those thick European manuals that have glued spine as those can't be taken apart safely and then reassembled, but luckily there are not too many of those.

It just easier to get to the correct place in a screenshot and shift the sprites around (via Photoshopping) so the screenshot is accurate. For myself, I don't even play the game. I just go to a "Let's Play" captured in HD, fast forward to the correct stage and point in the game, take screenshots of the sprites I need in the correct animation and merge everything.
