University surplus? Even some place that has a large records capacity in microfilm might have surplus? Neighboring states?

Subject: [EXT] [CODE4LIB] Inexpensive microfilm readers?
APL external email warning: Verify sender owner-code4lib_at_LISTS.CLIR.ORG before clicking links or attachments
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?
