[filmscanners] RE: Service/cleanup for Nikon LS-30 intheUK?

["Alex Zabrovsky" <alexz@zoran.co.il>]

Perhaps I may be considered as incompetent boob indeed, but I suspect that
taking whole scanner apart may potentially bring a lot of hassles making it
back working.
I suspect after reassembly there might be certain mechanisms requiring some
sort of calibrations which is impossible without appropriate knowledge and
equipment.
(sort of SLR lens disassembly and putting all together).

Regards,
Alex Z

Sure if your an incompetent boob.
Oh and for your information, the other parts DO get dusty.
But you wouldn't know that since you have never had your scanner apart, but
rather would prefer to blindly go poking around inside.
Also the condenser lenses in the LED assembly also get dirty, obviously not
as critical, but a point to check as well.
