Re: Microfiche reader FS

My car uses one single fiche, which made this easier.  I copped a used
small format reader when my hardware store went CD ROM.  To read the
fiche I cut, carefully between frames, along the length, about halfway
making two 4 x 10 sheets.  Sure I have focus a lot, because one end is
always warped, and sometimes I have to switch sheets.  Someday I will
cut the other direction so there is no warpage, and make a little index
of what is where and on which sheet.

Incredible resource, I call my dealer with part numbers and they verify
them, quote prices, and order them.

Very useful to get the right hardware, rubber bits, etc, when repairing
something.
