Aperture Card Reader / Scanner / Printer

(OP)
Hi all,

We have an old monster 3M 630 Reader Printer which is supposed to allow us to view and print drawings that are stored on aperture cards (approx. 3" X 6" card with a microfiche type film in a small window on a cardboard punch card.

Does anyone know of any low cost (i.e. under $2000) devices that are available to scan these cards (1 at a time is fine) into a PC or to view and print the drawings from the card.  So far all I've been able to find is a fancy scanner worth $10,000 to $20,000 and that is not in my budget.

Any info would be appreciated.
