scanner glass replacement

["Charlie" <cjh@xxxxxxxxxx>]

    A friend of mine has a fairly new scanner with broken glass.
(yes, it is definitely glass ;)  It is NOT one of the high end
scanners and was probably under $300 new.   He also has several other
older scanners.  If the glass size is the same, is there any reason he
couldn't use another model's glass in the newer model?  I realize this
is a pretty open question with not much info to go on, but generally,
is it possible?   If he can't find one of the proper dimensions, where
would he get new glass?  (I'm assuming buying from the manufacturer
would cost close to a new one since it was not 'high-end' to begin
with.)
