Ken,

I don't know if you are near any military installations...but, just about all
microfiche products the military has been using are being converted to
CD-Rom...This is creating alot of surplus microfiche equipment. Try to locate
the local Defense Property Disposal Organization (DRMO) and get their auction
schedule.  Usually, these are open to the public for spot bids, lot bids, and
sometimes cash and carry.  Additionally, many military surplus websites are
popping up and can be another good source of all kinds of gov't stuff.  Happy
hunting.
