Hello. I stumbled onto this thread while looking for a place to have super 8 movies digitized and I decided to get the Kodak Reels and try it myself. I selected an actual storefront instead of a strictly online vendor thinking I might get an older unit but I ended up with the "D" version (H2825). While searching online, Amazon saved my search history and sent this link for 20% off the unit so I thought I'd share it here. Unfortunately, it looks like the deal expires tonight but I hope someone reading this sees it and can take advantage of what looks like a great deal. Looking forward to coming back to learn more about the unit.

I have one notation about the disturbing scratching sound that can appeare when scanning film. I think that I have located where the silicongrease shall be placed. Look at the pictures and see where the arrow is pointing. Use a syringe to dispense the grease between the plastic gear and the metalplate

Before I go ahead with installing it, you think that "C" is the right one.. the "look-up" page is pointing me to "B" (see screenshot)..sorry just want to be as sure as I can before I take the risk!

The look up page hasn't be updated with the newer serial numbers. That is Type C. Fortunately it doesn't matter, you can install the wrong version, then install the correct firmware, and it will fine.
Any progress on digging into D firmware? I'd be more than happy to help with testing and debugging.
