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.
