Re: Minolta Scanner
From what I have read, the lamp for Minolta scanners can be easily replaced by users. It could be obtained from Minolta. Regards, Alan Chan http://www.pbase.com/wlachan I'm sure you're right about the lamp going, since the problem has become much worse now! It's a shame, too; I haven't used this scanner very much, so I can't say I think I got my money's worth out of it. Fortunately my HP Photosmart is still scanning negatives very nicely. _ MSN 8 helps eliminate e-mail viruses.

I'm sure you're right about the lamp going, since the problem has become much worse now! It's a shame, too; I haven't used this scanner very much, so I can't say I think I got my money's worth out of it. Fortunately my HP Photosmart is still scanning negatives very nicely.
