Hi Paul,
Here's a link to the archived download page
As I am sure you know Polaroid has gone through several owners in the
last few years.
I don't see an Australian contact. The closest seems to be Japan and
China.
I have emailed their customer support in the US to ask about access to
these parts, and will see what they have to say, if anything.
Thanks for all the answers to my question, but I have decided not to buy
this particular scanner. The seller wants more money for it than I am
willing to pay.
It was good to see the list wake up and spring into action -- my thanks
to the participants, and to Tony Sleep for keeping the list going.
