Pam,
Oakland FHL has one or two, manual (16mm) readers that magnify
(different lens ) the images-larger. This is most helpful if the records
are faded or hard to make out. (Don't bother useing their regular/normal 16
mm readers.) The Pro Scanner is great if you already know exactly, where
your item is-on the reel but is too slow. I only use the Pro Scanner for
print reasons due faded records. You could also puts your films on, one of
the three other (film) printing/copying machines, view your films on that
machine-then print as needed......as you go. These 3 film copy machines are
against the wall-near the Pro Scanner table. And they are not used very
much.
