Sounds good. I think I will try the pipe cleaner approach without the
carrier, to make sure I don't disrupt anything. I can see the area the
carrier goes through around that fin or groove, and I also see some
insulated wires which are probably the connections to the sensor that
needs cleaning,

Yes, the camera I have was bought for another purpose and I didn't
care that its macro capability is poor.
What comes to mind is a long pipe cleaner that fits well in the
channel. All you need to do is drop the front door and you can see
the channel quite clearly. Choose the appropriately-sized
After fussing around for the better part of an hour trying to take
decent photos of a black bit of plastic stuck onto a black slide
carrier, all the while trying to show the alignment of the brush
bristles with the fin, which is far enough away that it is out of
focus, I gave it up as a bad job.
Thank you for the word description which helps, but as they say, a
picture is worth 1000 words, or whatever...
I look forward to seeing the images.
Thanks again,

No, the brush does not surround the fin, but is placed in front of
the fin, occupying the same channel as the fin. Think of a snowplow
blade in front of the truck, this is a brush in front of the slide
carrier and in line with the fin. The bristles sweep the two sides
and bottom of the channel

Gee, maybe I'll need to go into 3rd party production on those brushes.
Yeah, the symptoms are assorted irregularities with the film/slide
holders, including the unit not acknowledging the holder, interpreting
the wrong holder, giving a false bumped holder error, and a few more.
Now that I know

Didn't Microtek make these scanners for Polaroid? If that's the case,
might try them.

Yes, they did, the Artixscan 4000 was their version. Both built on the
same production line, but the Polaroids had tighter component spec

I have one of the brushes for my SS4000, and I just now looked at it
to see what it does. It rides/cleans the channel that the LEFT side
of the slide carrier rides in. If you look at the bottom of the slide
carrier you will see the left side has a thin fin as contrasted to
the wide flat surface on
I'll take a run with this. I've been in contact with David Hemmingway a
while back, and he referred me to someone at Polaroid, who never got
back to me. Now that there seems to be a demand for these brushed, I'll
do some research and see if I can track them down. I also thought of
Microtek, but
