I need to scan some old slides and have found, much to my horror (but not surprise), that my scanner is very dusty and the scans it makes are horrid. It's a Polaroid SprintScan 4000. I've been able to remove the top cover and the lamp, exposing the filthy mirror. The mirror is easy to clean but the lens is buried in the scanner's bowels and I haven't figured out how to reach it for cleaning. Any clues?
