[T3] Microfiche

[Dave Hall]

You can get USB microscopes fairly cheaply up to about x400 - I imagine that
might be a way to access the info.  You might need one which can have the
LED light off, as then you can light it from below, which would avoid
reflections, or view against white paper maybe.  You just use the computer
monitor to view then.

Subject: [T3] Microfiche

*While "inventorying" my VW Parts 'n such (some interesting "finds") I came
across two Micofiche films.  One is labeled Parts List, Type 3, 1-1978,
735.003.20; the other Genuine Spare Parts, Type 3, 1-1982, 735.003.20.  Each
film measures: 9-3/8" (240 mm) X 7-1/8" (183 mm).

According to the letter from VW United States, Inc.  (Chicago Region), dated
October 26, 1987, Mr P. K. Kaminski, Customer Assistance, the Microfiche
information and drawings cover parts for my 1969 VW Variant (Squareback).

Problem: Even with a 10X magnifier, the information is too small to be
readable.

Question:  Do Microfiche Readers exist today, that can magnify the
information sufficiently to make these films usable?  Public Library?  VW
dealers?
