Hi Nick,

Thanks for you reply.  I would be interested in buying 100

Would it be possible to phone you to discuss?

Regards


Jason

I'd be interested to hear from those who has bought one of these, as to what to expect? Although not a great deal of money, it's not cheap either & would like to know if it does or does not stand up to what it says on the packet, as it seems slightly expensive for what it is, but then again, I'm a bargain hunter.

Hello, do you still have these available please? 

Has anyone got a comment on how good these are, as I have fiche that I want to be able to look at in my own time and not have to go to the library to do it - v difficult with children - but don't really have room for a desktop reader.

A couple of people have asked how good these hand-held viewers are.

I got one from Nick a few days ago.

The machine is easy to get ready, is simple to use and light to carry. It works well and clearly on the fiches that I have tried and it is easy to read the (small) eyepiece.

These machines will never give the luxury of a full reader - but neither will they take up a large amount of desk space and of course they are very light and easy to carry, unlike the big versions.

If you want something that gives you time to view a large screen in comfort, then this machine does not do that. It does enable me to sit at my own desk and read fiches without a problem.

Dear Earley-Bird I would very much like to purchase a hand held microfiche reader.  Do you have any left? If, so how much are they, and how do I go about paying you?
Look forward to hearing from you.
best wishes,
Anne Johnson

If any-one is interested in purchasing any of these hand-held microfiche readers we have purchased all of Nicks stock and are in the process of building them.
