As I am sure you know Polaroid has gone through several owners in the
last few years.
I don't see an Australian contact. The closest seems to be Japan and
China.
I have emailed their customer support in the US to ask about access to
these parts, and will see what they have to say, if anything.
To the best of my knowledge, Polaroid, or their consigns still offer
service and parts for the Sprintscan 4000 scanners. Since the product
was made for Polaroid by Microtek, they may also have service and parts
available.
I would find $50 a very low price for a properly working SS scanner.
