I have a light table.  In my case it is not really a table.  It is
portable and easily stored when not needed.  Admittedly it has not been
used much in recent years.  On the other hand, I have a special
collection, the rules of which require no photocopying (scanning is a
grey area I have not addressed yet in the policy).  However, if a
researcher needs a tracing, and some have done, this is a useful tool,
and takes up but small space when not in use.
