I just want to let you know that seeing this has brightened my day.

I’m probably the only other person in the world that owns a microfiche machine. Eek.

This machine deserves a good home, open to offers. I can also give you a home made aluminum stand for it.

No, you're not and I have several Alfa fiches as well.

Nope.

Got about a 3 inch pile of fiches to go with it.

A lot of people when they see one think its just a sticker stuck on the housing. But its not. The graphics were printed on it.

The machine is made by AGFA in germany. It was one of the best made at the time. Not cheap. All the german dealers had them in there parts department. But i never saw one with a printed hood like Alfa had done.

I hadn't dusted it yet... However, I lack the instructions for use. Not that I need them but it would be nice to have them to complete the piece.

I'd love to keep it and explore all of the parts diagrams even further but it takes up precious workbench space that I cannot spare at the moment.

It takes up a lot less room then the parts books do. The 70's parts books take up a another complete shelf.

Alfa in the late 80's and early 90's had all the old parts books from the 60's put on to microfiche. They started doing microfiches parts books in the mid 70's

I don’t want to hijack, but since I already have a machine, can the fiches still be sourced?

 

[Jim G]

Not that I know of

I have two, and several dozen slides. One day I will inventory what I have and sell them.

If you need encouragement, I am interested in your slides and what you want for them!

 

[vespam5]

Silly to think I'd separate. But my main concern is to get this to the right loving home, if anyone is interested please let me know.

Many years ago there was an AROC technical library. Does anyone know if it still exists and if so who is the custodian. I would suggest that the club should pick these up for the good of all members.

We have one too with fiches.....we actually used to use it.

I used to use one of these on a daily basis when I worked for Bellevue Alfa Romeo/Lamborghini - this brings back so many memories. There was also a handy "fast moving parts guide" booklet and a book for superseded part numbers which you also had to use often. This should be in a Alfa Romeo shop somewhere- hope it finds a home.
