Nikon Coolscan 9000 film scanner for sale!

Firm price. Please note I don't accept offers.

Firewire (or thunderbolt) connection only, please do not use firewire
to USB converters, these can fry the scanner's main board.

You can safely use the original Apple Firewire to Thunderbolt 2
and Thunderbolt 2 to Thunderbolt 3 adapters in a chain.

*****

Good condition, normal signs of use.
Few marks and scratches on the housing.

Front plate had a hairline crack near the holder slot.
This was fully repaired & reinforced from the back.
Only visible if you are trying to find it (pictures 7).

The film holders have marks but they work as should.
One of the 869S holder tabs has the usual split middle,
just the plastic shell, the metal underneath is fine, no effect on use.

Unlike other units online this one had been fully serviced:

- Complete strip down, film transport frame taken apart and cleaned.
- Metal guide rails removed, brass bearings uncluttered and new grease applied.
- First surface mirror removed, cleaned, re-seated.
- Focus assembly worm gear checked, lube applied. Extra fixing added into nylon gear.
- Film carriage worm gear cleaned, new lube applied.
- Plastic main motor shaft connector replaced with a strong metal connector.


Tested & checked, works well.

Please note the scanner doesn't come with software.
Nikon Scan 4 can be downloaded from the manufacturer's website.
You will need a modified driver if you want to use that with Windows 7 or 10.

I would recommend to get a copy of VueScan Professional instead
if you want to use the scanner with modern machines.
