Can anyone tell me how, or provide a link, to open a Polaroid Sprintscan
120 and blow/vacuum the interior. I am getting little black dots evenly
spaced across the image, which may suggest dirt on the sensor ?

thanks

I hope there isn't dirt on the sensor because it's normally hidden in a
little black box with the lens in front of it. Hopefully it is dirt on
either the mirror(s) or on the lens. Can of compressed air should do
the trick. If not, buy a high-quality lens cleaning cloth and avoid
handling it too much before you gently clean the optics.

Don't ever use window cleaner or paper towels, or rags.

Tell me how it goes.
 
Sorry, I re-read your post and failed to answer your question.

There should be some screws on the bottom to undo. It won't be very
difficult. Just don't force things. If you are uncomfortable with
that, I'm afraid it's time to pay for servicing.
