My SS4000 was having that well-known problem where it would grind away incessantly and refuse to accept any film holders.
I got the free brush from Polaroid, and that kept the problem at bay for a few weeks, but it came roaring back with a vim, and now I can't get the scanner to stop its pitiful and feckless grinding, no matter how industriously I ply the brush in the tunnel. People see me doing that -- pumping the slide holder in and out of the tunnel -- and they say, "What on earth, have you gone mad?" "No, no, -- this is just SOP for scanning!" Then they walk away shaking their heads. I have also blown compressed air into every crack and cranny I could get, to no avail Am I now at a loss, facing a $400 to $600 repair charge, or is there some last resort I might try?
