I've completely dismantled my LS-2000 and cleaned the guts. I don't know if
there are significant differences, but I think they're built in basically
the same way. The only difficulty was that I had to unplug lots of things
from the circuit board to get it apart, so I had to be careful to remember
what went where. Routine stuff, not particularly fragile compared to any
other electronic gear. I found that the mirrors and condenser were filthy,
and the lead screw had enough accumulated crud on it that the wimpy stepper
motor couldn't push past it, but I had never had any problem with the thing
barfing dust all over the film.
