We have a faculty member from our History department who is looking to purchase a microfilm reader for use in his office.  He has a budget of $4,000.

The closest we've found is a Micro-Image Capture 9.[1] But closer reading revealed that the base model is microfiche only, and adding the ability to handle microfilm adds $1800 to the price and pushes it well out of budget.

Any suggestions?
