My Polaroid Sprintscan 4000 scanner bit the dust and I can't afford to 
get it repaired (Polaroid wants $400 just to look at it). I disassembled 
it and couldn't find anything obviously wrong with it, but the slide 
carrier doesn't seem to dislodge from its position. It worked 
beautifully for a couple years. I bought it new from B&H Photo.

I obviously make no warranties as to its operation. Like I said, it's 
broken.

But if you want to take this magnificent scanner on as a project, please 
make me an offer. The scanner is in the San Francisco Bay Area.

Please do not insult me with a stupid offer. I would rather give it a 
proper burial in my backyard than sell it for the UPS shipping costs. It 
served me well, and will be missed.

Thank you,

Steve Maller
