Help me find a Epson 4990...please

I was interested in the 4490 but then I learned that it does not scan 8x10 negs.

The 4990 scans 8x10 negatives, right on the glass. I have done it many times. ...What may have you confused, is that the BetterScanning holder does not accommodate 8x10...

The model number “4490” looks like “4990” – so Daryl is actually correct. Indeed, the two model numbers look so similar, I’ve heard of people ordering the 4490 from Epson’s clearance site, thinking it was the 4990! I can only imagine the bewilderment of an 8x10 photographer laying his film down on a just-ordered 4490.

The refurbished 4990 I found is under $100. Absolutely nothing but the scanner. Good deal? Will operate as is (power adapter needed of course)?
