Does anyone else still have a microfiche Viewer/Printer?

viewer. I have a stack of IEE comics on microfiche, and picked up a viewer for $5 a couple of years back :)
Cheers Terry
Check how old the fiches are. Probably not very. But if they are really old make sure it's not the kind of film that can spontaneously combust. IIRC that burned down a large building somewhere in Russia where they had stored many spools of old movies.

If it's newer than about 1950 it should be okay.

Microfiche? Our local county recorder has PNG or PDF versions all the way back to January, 1984.

It would be interesting to find out what resolution etc. they are using. That would be a neat way to go partially paperless and when they flag that in an audit you could say "Yeah, but the country recorder also does it". Tried to find that out in a recent thread but that kinda went into a high-tech pie in the sky.

Actually, I have another microfiche reader that I am trying to figure out a way to use my good digital camera, with making any permanent changes to the camera.

Fiche is NOT on nitrate film! That comes from the silent movie days or shortly thereafter. Long before fiche was invented. Projecting a movie in the old days was a major thrill. If the film stuck in the projector gate the high intensity lamp set fire to it which traveled up the film to the upper reel which thence set the whole place on fire! (nitrate film REALLY burns fast!) Me and a buddy once set a reel on fire in his driveway just for fun. Made an amazing fire!
Nitrocellulose == guncotton.
In Jr. High or so, I had a buddy who made some. It does burn real good! ;-)
