I also have a surplus microfiche reader available gratis to any interested
preservationist or researcher.
The "catch" is that it is bulky, and dusty, that you have to fuss with it
a bit to load the fiche, and that it is located here in Ann Arbor,
Michigan. Delivery not included, unless it's not too far from here.
On the upside, the thing cost probably $300 when new, about 25 years ago.
It has image rotation, so you won't have to crane your neck if the fiche
are oriented sideways. A previous owner repainted the case, so it looks
okay. If you want a home fiche reader without having to spend the bucks,
here's your chance. I don't have room for it.
