I have emailed Buckinghamshire records office to see if they have any.

Fingers crossed after all the bad luck.

Hello Joan,

Thank you for your advice.

My local records office is in Aylesbury.
Without transport this is quite a trek & unfortunately I am unable to get there.

I would probably be living there if I could !!!

Regards

Do as I did, I went to Bristol Records Offfice,(ask at your local records office) and asked if they had any microfiche readers they didn't want. Told them I had limited funds and I got a reader for about £15-20.

A very kind lady offered me her brand new microfiche that cost her 240 pounds to me for 60 including delivery.

I could not afford this but my hubby said he would buy it for me for my birthday.

I, (in hindsight, very stupidly) sent the money Special Delivery Next Day , wrapped the money in cardboard and placed in a standard white envelope, and placed that envelope inside a padded envelope.

It arrived with the lady this morning, cardboard and money gone !

I am completely gutted, been given a form by post office who will only compensate 36 pounds and will only consider claim 10 days after postage date.

So here I am 60 down and without a microfiche !

So if anyone is considering dumping one that works or giving to charity , I would really appreciate if you consider me !

I now have a zilch budget - maybe 10 pounds at a push.

Regards

Donna

The person on ebay selling the microfiche that Sara mentioned wants 9.95 delivery , the bids at 30 pounds at the moment .

Its a bit above my budget.....

Squeaky020 Report 26 Aug 2008 17:55

Thanks Sara ,

I have emailed that bidder for shipping costs earlier but have had no response as yet.

I hope to hear something from someone soon !

I got mine on ebay as well, but the freecycle idea is really worth a try,

I have looked on Ebay but a lot of them are collection only and I have no transport.

Other than that they are really expensive!!

Have you looked on E-bay.

A friend got one last year for around £10 on there.
