How can I scan dealer microfiche ? - SV650.org

Hi folks,

Would anyone know if / how I can scan microfiche onto a pc using a home scanner?

I have found some ideas (see method 2 on page below), had a quick try but first results are not good

Reason I'm asking is that I have just received 2 boxes (300 ?) 'fiches covering motorbike parts lists & dealer info, from early 70s to late 90s

Shame there's no Suzuki - so no chance of any SV bits

Lots of detail, just wondering how I can get to use it

Any suggestions welcome, or links to PC sites that might have guides.

many thanks

My mum did buy a little machine that you feed photo negatives through and it scans them onto your PC, think it only cost around £30 not sure if the microfiche will fit through??

Would be a shame for them to go to waste!

Can't help with the question, but I do have the Microfiche to the TZR125L if you find a way of scanning them in... Would be interesting in seeing the results of any TZR125L information you might have.

Specialist companies do it but it is costly. Some people use a viewer which you can get cheaply and then they photograph the screen or you could look for something like THIS
