Philips are the OEM of most scanner tubes, however identifying and sourcing it may be difficult if it is unmarked. You may have to buy through either Polaroid or Microtek. Polaroid http://www.polaroid.com/service/index.jsp - use the 'Contact us' link I guess. I have sourced lamps for a Microtek35 many years ago. Microtek was happy enough to sell to an end user, but it was 3x the price of the Philips part. The Microtek version had part of the tube painted black to cut flare. I bought the Philips part, ordered through a Philips dealer, and applied the paint myself and it worked fine. -- Regards Tony Sleep http://tonysleep.co.uk ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Unsubscribe by mail to listser...@halftone.co.uk, with 'unsubscribe filmscanners' or 'unsubscribe filmscanners_digest' (as appropriate) in the message title or body
