Selling my Nikon Super Coolscan 4000 ED 35mm film scanner in excellent working condition. I have completely disassembled and serviced this unit to ensure maximum scan quality and reliable operation.

Condition & Service Details:

• Internal Optics Cleaned: Thoroughly cleaned the front-surface internal mirror to remove the haze typical of unserviced Coolscans. Scans exhibit pristine contrast and sharp shadow detail.
• Mechanical Maintenance: Drive gears and transport rails have been cleaned and lubricated to eliminate strain on the transport motor.
• SA-21 Full-Roll Modification: Modified the included SA-21 film strip feeder to function as an SA-30. It automatically feeds and batch-scans uncut 36-exposure rolls of 35mm film without needing to cut strips.

What’s Included:

• Nikon Super Coolscan 4000 ED scanner body
• Modified SA-21 film strip adapter
• Power cable & FireWire cable
• 3D printed spool adapters for front and back
• 3D printed manual-feed film holder (I also used this to plug the front when not in use)

Price & Payment Terms:

• Asking Price: $750 Shipped (UPS Ground with insurance & signature required) OR $700 Local Pick-Up (Bangor/Central Maine area).
• Payment: PayPal Goods & Services only (3.5% fee included in asking price).
• Compatibility Note: Works on modern macOS and Windows 10/11 using VueScan or SilverFast (requires a FireWire PCI card or Thunderbolt-to-FireWire daisy chain on MacOS versions before MacOS 26).
