I recently noticed just how high the resolution is getting on the
latest scanners. Epson has scanners various scanners in the $450-800
range that do the following resolutions 6400x6400, 6400x9600, and
4800x6400 Optical DPI.
The $800 V750-M Pro seems especially suited to Microfiche as it looks
like it can handle up to 8x10" film at up to 6400x9600, with the
correct orientation of the fiche being scanned I think that would
allow between 150-200dpi per page. It even supports Firewire as well
as USB.
Has anyone had the chance to see if these newer scanners can handle fiche?

You should be able to get very good images off of something that large.
Scanning DEC fiche is a nightmare. Some is 25 x 13 frames (and NOT Computer
Output to Microfilm). Total garbage even at 48x. The COM listings come out OK
but there is just so MUCH (thousands of sheets) to do.
Sadly, scanning from the original paper is a MUCH better source, but most of
the paper was thrown out when they were converted to film.
Could I please get a list of the adapters you have ?
Is the tester in good shape ?
I am in the market for a tester, but I don't want a piece of junk !
And lastly, how much ?
Thank you in advance,
AL

A decent workbench with power and storage I number one in my book.
Lighting for it number two. Third is a good soldering iron. Around
number 7 is a 'scope after a decent pair of VOM and DVM and simple
logic probe. Number 6 is a quality set of handtools (cutters, needlenose,
screwdrivers and the like). If I were to think on it I'd certainly put
other tools and equipment before a scope.

Obvious reason. Rework in the form of circuit corrections are easily
done with wirewrap and can be costly and time consuming with PCB.

Hi Chris,
I've found an old Toa A-903 and I am looking for a manual. Do you still have
one? The newer version of this amp is different.
Thanks in advvance,
