Thanks for the info, now that I have a couple of real model numbers I know what to search for.

There are actually around 4000 slides, but I can eliminate 2/3 of them as being worth the effort just by tossing them on an old light box I got a few years back.

But still 1500 is a lot - and it seems that the average scan speed for high res is 2-3 minutes each.

I might have to rethink this. I suspect there are probably only maybe 200-300 slides really worth saving, or at least worthy of hi-res scans. I really don't feel like spending like what seems to be $600+ for an automated scanner that will only ever be used once.

I considered just having it done by a commercial place, but the cheapest one was around $1.50 per slide + some other fees.
