I badly need the film and slide holders for a Minolta Dimage Scan Elite 5400. Does anyone have such pieces that they are willing to sell? Or suggestions as to where such might be acquired? I have the scanner itself, which seems to work fine. I just need the holders. ---

I’ve been trying to figure out whether to get my 5400 fixed or sell for parts, as it started producing very noisy scans with streaks. Maybe needs new main board, so not sure if it’s worth it. Where do you live? ---

Washington state, USA. Would definitely be interested. ---

I’m in Alberta so mailing would be possible. First I’d better find the holders… ---

Have you found holders yet. I may have some. My 5400 is having problems and I’m thinking of upgrading. I have both the negative and slide holders. I need to do a little more tinkering to see if I really need a new scanner but want to do it soon since winter is the time I spend on scanning. I’m also in WA state (Vancouver). ---

Hi! I am in need of the film holders. Do you still have them? How did your tinkering go?? ---

I couldn’t get it to work. Just got worse so I upgraded. I have both the slide and negatives carriers. Where are you located? ---

I recently came into possession of a 5400 without any holders. Any chance you still have any? ---

Oh, that’s great. I’m in Vancouver, WA. I can drop them in the mail to you if you send me your address. There are two of them, one for slides the other for 35mm film strips. Steve ---

hey steve, any chance you didn’t end up getting rid of these? I’m in the market for the 35mm film holder. Thanks! ---

I have what I think is the piece you are looking for – I bought it about four years ago, but wound up not using it (it’s still in the package it was shipped in). Why don’t you send me an e-mail and we can discuss. [galangathai@hotmail.com](mailto:galangathai@hotmail.com) Ted ---

I’m looking for for FH-M20 holder. Also, I have a FH-U1 but the scanner I bought is the Dimage Scan Elite 5400 II which needs the FH-M20. I’m also happy to trade a FH-U1 for a FH-M20 in the ‘unlikely’ scenario somebody is in my same situation (but inverted)…
