A long shot perhaps but if your EE friend can find some kind of number on the lamp he might be able to search electronic part web sites or catalogs for the lamp. It's very doubtful that Polaroid (or Microtek) actually makes their own lamps.
Good luck!

Our Polaroid Sprintscan 45 Ultra packed up recently refusing to initialise. An electronics engineer friend has it on his bench and lamp failure would appear to be the cause. Polaroid want the princely sum of �450 plus parts plus VAT to fix it (which is why my friend has it) and...surprise...surprise...won't supply a replacement lamp. As far as I am aware the thing is built by Microtek but a search of their web site is less than helpful because it only refers to Microtek products. Since I am not into daylight (balanced) robbery does anyone out there know of a source of scanner lamps in the sub 450 quid bracket? -- Mark M Sykes Mark Sykes Photography m: +44 (0)7860 247900 t: +44 (0)1274 877801 e: [EMAIL PROTECTED] w: http://www.marksykesphoto.com =============================================================== GO TO http://www.prodig.org for ~ GUIDELINES ~ un/SUBSCRIBING ~ ITEMS for SALE =============================================================== GO TO http://www.prodig.org for ~ GUIDELINES ~ un/SUBSCRIBING ~ ITEMS for SALE
