Nikon Coolscan LS-5000, 4000, 2000, LS-50, and similar items

Free Return Shipping with Fast Turn-around As-new Performance backed for 12 Months Service for Nikon LS-5000, LS-4000, LS-2000, LS-50, LS-40, LS-30 Film Scanners NOTICE: I am now also offering this scanner service for much less on another online venue. Please contact me for details. If you recently purchased a working LS-5000, LS-4000, LS-2000, LS-50, LS-40 or LS-30 scanner, and have found that it performing poorly and needs to be serviced, or if you just need advice on installation please contact me. Most Nikon Super Coolscan LS-5000, LS-4000, LS-2000, and Coolscan LS-50, LS-40, and LS-30 scanners are 10+ years old. Although they are built to professional standards, they can be expected to require maintenance at this age. The original white Lithium grease lubricant on the scanning stage rails and the drive gears of the two stepper motors dries to the consistency of tar and accumulates dust. This sticky amalgam often limits, slows, or prevents movement of the scanning stage and focusing mechanism. Evaporated grease film and dust accumulation on the reflex mirror degrades the image. But with proper servicing, poorly working scanners can be restored to as-new performance. See the "before" and "after" sample scans. Thanks for reviewing my listing. I have been selling and servicing Nikon scanners since 2003, and have overhauled hundreds of these great dedicated film scanners. I clean and remove 100% of the old sticky Lithium grease lubricant and accumulated dust from each scanner I sell or service. I apply only modern dry lubricants that will never become sticky and will not collect dust or damage the scanner. I never use Silicone, Lithium grease or any petroleum based lubricants which actually erode and damage the Bakelite bearing surfaces of the scanning stage. I clean the mirrors and the lens. I also replace any mechanical parts showing excessive wear (subject to availability) at little or no cost. Servicing these scanners properly is a painstaking process and requires nearly full dis-assembly of the scanner. There are no short-cuts. I guarantee performance, and I back my work for 12 months. Please check my feedback from buyers of my service. RETURN SHIPPING IS ON ME. Yes. I SHIP, even though the listing header says "Local pickup only." Please contact me if you have questions or concerns. Nikon LS-5000, LS-4000, LS-2000, LS-50, LS-40 and LS-30 scanners are too good to use as paperweights. These high resolution, professional quality dedicated film scanners are all capable of producing image quality suitable for glossy magazine publication. With proper servicing, they still outperform by a mile, any film/slide scanner (new or used) available in the same price range. Your 35mm negatives and slides are much too valuable not to preserve. So let's get that scanning project underway! I'll do my part. Nikon charged over $300 to service these scanners. Important. Your scanner should be able to pass its power-on self-test. If you recently purchased a Nikon scanner that fails its power-on self-test you should return it to the seller. I cannot replace a faulty main circuit board, nor do I attempt electronic component replacement. Please check the power-on self-test before purchasing my service. It's OK to purchase my service and send me your scanner even if it fails its self-test. But if I cannot repair your scanner, I will explain why and return it and your full payment promptly. I do not charge a "diagnostic" fee. Contact me for more information.
