Cheap replacement scanner mirrors... [SOLVED]
Posted: 07 Jun 2013, 06:00
Hi Folks...
A year or so ago I broke a mirror on one of my scanners and went looking for a replacement. After a bit of research (and a lucky chat with a school science technician) this is what I found:
http://www.ssapl.com.au/store/hl0976-01.html
These mirrors are acrylic (plastic) and can be cut with sharp scissors. They are also a lot less prone to breaking and can easily be reattached with double sided tape. I have trouble sometimes trying to decide which of my scanners have plastic and glass mirrors because they look so much like the real thing!
The link above is Australian but just Google key words like safety mirror, acrylic, double sided etc for a supplier in your country.
