[3dem] scanner problems

[Chipman, Paul R]

Hi Sarah,

This company has replacement glass for the Zeiss scanner at reasonable 
costs.
http://www.fpointinc.com/glass.htm

The first link on the site transfers you to their online store.  I 
believe I bought some glass from them several years ago for a Nikon 
scanner and they were quite slow so I'd contact them in advance 
regarding stock/shipping before placing an order.

Cheers,
Paul
