I had found trying to clean it similar to building a boat out of toothpicks in a small glass bottle. Two attempts failed. Not clean enough. Mushy flairy scans. My website has floundered. My inkjets have dried up. My darkroom boomed. But before i had a chance to wake up this rainy morning and get half finished with my first cup of espresso strength coffee we shut down this computer and had the scanner unplugged and on the kitchen table. "Madame, hold still this won't hurt a bit" Much easier to clean when you pull the shell off. Which if you were above 5.9 on the Moron scale would not be too much of a problem. A small Phillips screw driver. Some angled foam pads for cleaning tape heads. Compressed air. And i ended up also using cue tips making user i blew away any cotton strands with the compressed air. My first scan came out great. I'm ready to start scanning and re scanning all those bad scans and uploading like the scanning digital fool I am! Get ready for Noctilux images i have known. And scenes from my 4,696 mile 16 day road trip to the San Antonio meeting and back. All the Leica people down there...
