I've had this problem several times over the years. If the machine is stored upright then my guess is that it will be dust on the mirror which bounces the light up and through the tranny. You will have to take the case off (easy) and some other bits and pieces (slow but not difficult) to be able to get half decent access to the mirror for most efficient cleaning.
Not a problem is you are steady of hand and patient. It is surprising how quickly the dust accumulates. Giles Stokoe photographer/photojournalist.
