A Supported Microfilm Machine
For Years to Come…

Standard Components for Lower
Maintenance Costs

One of the big concerns with old microfilm machines is that spare parts are becoming exceedingly rare and costly. Parts for old microfilm machines are so unique, and so difficult to find because in many cases they are no longer being produced by the original manufacturer. Once production has stopped, those spare parts are the last there ever will be, in turn leading to a shortage of parts and drastic influx in cost. Since the ViewScan 4 uses modern mass-produced components, they cost the same as regular scanners parts so your organization won’t have to break the bank for replacement parts.

Product Longevity and Guaranteed Serviceability

Many old microfilm machines have been out of production for years, diminishing the availability of extra parts. This has made old reader/printers unserviceable and inoperable. The ViewScan 4 is proud to be produced today in Meridian, ID. Service and components for the ViewScan 4 will remain available for many years.
