[filmscanners] RE: Epson 2450 transparency unit

["Bernie Kubiak" <bkubs@comcast.net>]

My advice would be to contact Epson directly on the
replacement.  

My 2450 is the same vintage as yours and has seen plenty of
use but without any dim or dark areas in the light source.
These are probably florescent tubes and you're seeing the
effect of aging.

Subject: [filmscanners] Epson 2450 transparency unit

        My Epson 2450 has has given good service scanning
medium-format negatives and transparencies for almost two
years.
Recently I noticed that the 4x9 inch light source in the lid
no
longer gives even illumination - there are a couple of
darker areas
across the field. Does anyone know if this is a normal
effect of the
aging of the TPU lamp(s), and if so, can the lamps be
replaced easily?

Roger Smith
