I'm currently still using my CanoScan F910114 from ~2006 (pictured). The light recently burned out, but it still works for scanning documents if I add some contrast and brightness after the fact. Not great for photographs, though.
If I'm not able to replace the light, I might be in the market for a new scanner. Are there any that you all recommend for durability and potential repairability?
Obviously no electronics are truly going to be BIFL, but I figure I can at least aim high and see what I can find.

This also works for basic document scanning, but I'm specifically looking for a flatbed scanner. :-)
