Jerry, you may have made a choice on how to address your project. Below is a link to cordless slide to digital picture converter which may be of interest. I noticed it in the Holiday 2011 Hammacher Schlemmer catalog.

Just to update.Originally posted by rockne10 View Post
Received the DS-66 from Amazon UK. Item is not available in the U.S. and has a USB power adapter for British outlet. Plugged the USB power cord to a Motorola phone charging AC power supply and, lo and behold, it works! Nearly identical to the Hammacher-Schlemmer item Bob noted except not battery powered. Also, my slides are 60mm. The H-S item only has a scan bed for 35mm. It's basically a digital camera that records the image from a projection bed. Not the greatest quality by any stretch of the imagination but, unless you want to pay someone dearly...at least it works.
Here's three low quality images of the 1931 Studebaker Indy race car when it made its restored debut at the Atlantic Zone Meet in Boalsburg, PA in 1981. With carbs not yet synched, it was driven from Stan Smith's home in Oak Hall to Boalsburg.
Not thrilled with these results but, at least thirty-year-old images can now be shared. Expect to be subjected to more in the future.Last edited by rockne10; 10-05-2011, 07:16 PM.Brad Johnson,

I use one of these Epson V700 Scanners for large glass negatives up to 8"X10".
Not inexpensive, but will scan 12 35MM slides at one time instead of the normal 1 at a time the lower priced scanners will do.sigpic

You guys lit a fire under my butt. I ordered an Epson V330 Photo scanner. It does 4 slides at a time. My Father in Law has 350 slides. Most are from the Korean War. Some were family shots from the 50's.
Here is a shot from a fox hole on Heartbreak Ridge.
