Microfiche viewer
« on: Saturday 18 November 06 17:15 GMT (UK) »
Hi

I am considering buying a Microfiche viewer, maybe second hand.
My eyes are not great, so I want to be sure I have adequate magnification.

What viewer and magnification would you recommend?

Hi Bob
I'm afraid I haven't a clue about microfische machines other than sitting down and using them. I never even thought of looking at their names or specifications.

The ones I use at the FRC have thier own magnification adjustments, however I do not find they are the clearest of images to read. you should be able to get some advice from your local Family History Group.
