Hope someone can help with this. Love my DTP-70 but the lamp is already too old and giving occasional errors. However X-Rite does not sell the spare: flat-fee "send for repair" at $635, which of course is crazy, and if you add on top that I'm not in the US, I'd be paying for a lamp change over $1,000.

I can see your dilemma. Problem is when a lamp gets replaced it usually dictates recalibration too, and a new calibration target for the device. I have a DTP-41 I've had to send in a couple of times since I purchased it. Now that I' not directly involved in doing profiling any longer I suspect the next time I get it up and running it will tell me that it needs recalibration too....
