Frank,
I just ordered the brush(and it arrived in 2 days rather than 10 days). My
SS4000 is working fine, but I looked inside with a penlight and was dismayed
at how much dust had accumulated on the glass element. And that was with
using a dust cover.

I'm just curious. Could you give us a rough estimate of how many scans you
put through your 4000 before this problem started to develop? I'm guessing
I've put 400 or 500 slides through mine, so far working flawlessly. Of
course I realize that's not very many.
