Here is one link:

I found another one that is more compact but I think they have sold out. It is a Kodak Ektalite 120 and is portable with a case, but rather small.
If you don't like the ones on the website above, email me and I will try to dig out my other one to tell you the name. I use it to look at my 914/6 parts films from a dealer's stock. The bigger readers are better in my opinion if you have the space to spare.

eBay. That's where I got mine. The sellers make a killing on these, however. They pick them up for nothing at government/school surplus and sell them for high % profits.

Here's one:

Hello Mr.Heinrich. I am going electronically, just have to get me butt in gear to send the funds to Mr. Morehouse. I've been relying on the microfiche since I purchase the car. My boy destroyed my reader by giving me an example of the definition of gravity from the third floor! The reader is used in the garage and in the bedroom as a night time read. By removing the screen and focusing on the wall ,I can get a readable page 8feet across. Mike.

Any particular requirements for a microfiche reader? Like size and magnification and such?
