scanner bulb

[witness]

I have an IBM scanner it's a 0275-001. The bulb is shot and I can't find one. I can't find any info on it at all. Everybody acts like I should just buy a new scanner. I paid $230 (of course it was a few years ago) for this thing and now I should buy a new one because the bulb is shot???

Yep - when the bulb went out on our old Acer 300F we tossed it and got a new scanner. Even a $49 scanner has better resolution than almost any 4 year old scanner.

I'm not sure if they have what you are looking for this company has had every bulb or light I have needed.

Witness, my Umax bulb went out and it would have been $50 for a new bulb. For $30 more I bought a brand new scanner with improved performce, faster scanning speeds, and great new software. Definately worthwhile.

Good Luck,

Yep, my HP scanner, 2 yrs and $179 ago lost its battle with the bulb. Bought a new one for $49 (not HP) after rebates with better SW and higher res.
This is not a refrigerator, it is hi-tech stuff that changes faster than CPU speeds!
