Got some old Ford OHC microfiche part cattledogs that I cannot read as I have no microfiche scanner. Does anybody (especially Adelaide blokes) have the ability to scan to PDF or print these? 2-3 fiche but have no idea how many pages.

Local company just quoted me $550 +GST minimum cost :shock: :shock:

Find someone with a microfiche reader and take your digital camera with you. I'm sure if you ask nicely they'd let you spend some time with it as I'd guess they're not using it much anymore. Maybe a library??

Yeah I did note that the State Library of SA has a scanning one for something like 50c per page. Sounds like that might be the best bet.......hmmm now to remember where the library is....been a while :oops:

Otherwise, try your local university. Many will have it and it wont cost much, if anything.
