They vary.  I have one that fits in a pocket!
Usually, they are a tabletop box a few feet square.  Some used to have a 
printer in them.
Most tend not to be very extremely heavy, since a lot of that size is 
empty space between a projection lens and a screen.


BUT, there are some monstrous ones!

Hi Paul,


I did have a go at scanning, but I could not get a good image.


Zane came up with the idea of using a DSLR, I have tried this with a very
quick and dirty test and I think it could work, I used an original DEC
microfiche viewer, which as it happens I am looking for a home for!

So if you  wants the viewer it's yours for the shipping - I
am in UK (which might be the down side).

Regards Mike Norris
