Microtek Phantom 336CX - Stripes on scans

I have been using my 336CX for about 6 months and it started out well - the
scans were sparkling!  However, over the past couple of weeks I have been
getting vertical stripes or lines in the darker areas of the image.  They
are particularly noticeable if I use any kind of image adjustment to bring
out detail, either within the Microtek Scan Wizard software, or using
CorelScan/Corel Photo-Paint.
The problem seems to be getting progressively worse.  I have obviously
cleaned the top surface of the glass thoroughly but this model does not seem
to allow access to the underside.
Has anyone else had the same problem?
Obviously it's not much use at the moment and I'd be very grateful for any
advice before I have to give it up and take it back to the store.
