 WE have used Minolta RP 503  for about eight years with fairly good success.
 We have about 200,000 pieces of microform  which gets fairly heavy use in
 the course of the school year.  When we upgrade we will probably stick
 with this manufacturer since we also get good service from Bell and Howell.
 Best to you since I know these machines can be a pain.
