Not sure what I will do with it, but it IS undeniably cool. I'm sure he found it on Ebay.

Old school!
When my uncle was a parts dept. manager when I was younger he let my play with one of those.

Modern libraries have microfiche scanners that can scan in this stuff. I've used them before to scan directly to a JPEG.

I think it would be really cool to have a digitized version of these guides from microfiche.

Wanna ship 'em to me? :)
