Hey now, I graduated in 2002 and we still used the spirit duplicators reasonably often. I also was not in an excessively poor or low budget school district, I think it was just that the damned machines are more or less armageddon-proof and the teachers had been using them for many decades and it was just part of the habit. I'm thinking it wasn't a coincidence that most of the machines were located in rooms only slightly larger than most home bathrooms are. Cheap buzz.
Sadly there's no real non-destructive way to attempt to un-fade them if they're totally gone. Hopefully yours are still dark enough to scan and enhance!
