    AGFA Duoscan - help needed

    One of the few times I've asked a question - and it's in the "gray area"...

    My Duoscan 1200 works just fine. Scans paper and film in all realistic sizes (A4 / 8x10"), and is cheap and reliable.

    BUT: The glass on the reflex part is "gunky". On the inside!

    Does anyone here know how I can get it off for cleaning? Last time I had the thing in for service it went back and forth three times before it was working again, and that's when the glass got dirty. So I don't want another one of that kind of "repair" - Its much cheaper to damage it myself.

    It's not hard to take the cover off the scanner. As I recall it's just 4 screws, or do you need to go deeper?

    Well whaddayaknow - I found it!
    Turn off and unplug the scanner.
    Remove cover from scanner.
    In between the holes that the cover posts go in, you will see a circular hole. Press a screwdriver down in this hole and the glass bed top of the scanner should slide back.
    Remove the four screws in the top of the scanner that are revealed when you remove the scanner top. The cover of the scanner will now come off.
    Remove the cover on the bulb. It is a plastic piece that just pops off.
    At one end of the bulb holder, there will be an opening that allows you to reach under and pry the bulb up.
    The bulb is a standard Phillips 8-watt daylight fluorescent bulb. It should be available at most lighting stores.
    When placing bulb back in its holder, make sure it is firmly seated at both ends. The bulb should sit flush with the bulb retainer ends.
    Place the plastic cover over the bulb.
    Replace the top of the scanner and reinstall four screws.
    Place scanner glass bed top in slots in scanner cover top and slide toward the front of the scanner until it clicks in place.
    Replace the cover by inserting its posts into their respective holes.
