[filmscanners] RE: SS4000--need help troubleshooting

["" <snsok@cox.net>]

I planned to do a thorough teardown but after ripping a wire loose upon
opening the case, I realized the potential to do a lot of harm.

I just powered the scanner up long enough to cycle the carriage far enough
to be able to get compressed duster to the mirror. The unit appears
carefully designed to facilitate breakage by "unauthorized fingers."

Anyway, the mirror did appear fixed in that I didn't see it move at all.

Stan,


On a side note, did your SS4k appear to have a fixed or hinged mirror
assembly? Someone else here had described cleaning out the SS4k and
mentioned a moving mirror. I did a fairly complete tear-down and cleaning
of my unit a while back and found a fixed mirror. The film carrier unit
handles all the movement with no need to move the mirror. I was pretty
confused, and he never did reply back to my inquiry.
