another free microfilm reader
by Andrew Cherven 08 Oct '18

08 Oct '18

The Petoskey District Library has a microfilm reader to give away. It is an ALOS Z43<http://www.datekltd.com/Brochures/ALOS_Z43.pdf> that includes 3 extra tubes of toner. It works, but is in need of a service call because the print quality is a bit light right now. Every time this has happened in the past, the service call resulted in clear, crisp copies. We have used Graphic Sciences<http://www.scanittoday.com/Equipment_Repairs.html> for repair service in the past. We're also willing to give it to a genealogy society or family history center if you know of one in need. If interested, let me know when you'd like to come get it. Drew Cherven Reference Services Petoskey District Library 500 East Mitchell Street Petoskey MI 49770 231-758-3114 www.petoskeylibrary.org<http://www.petoskeylibrary.org>
