I picked this up from another list, I thought it may be useful to someone:



a good
source for second-hand fiche readers is to your local University.

Try calling over to see if they have a Second Hand Room or Shop that is
open to
the public. It's usually just a room where used equipment winds up after
every department in the University has turned their nose up at it. With
computerization, guess what winds up frequently in their Bargain Barn
room? Fiche Readers!

My husband picked one up for free this way. It wasn't working, but just
needed a light bulb. (There isn't a whole lot that can go wrong with
them.) The light bulb cost 10 US dollars.
