[SEL] O.T. Need 35mm Slide Scanner & Viewer

[Lew Best]

Hey Paul 

There are some on EBay but no idea how good they are.  I got pretty good
results projecting some on the screen & setting my digital camera on a
tripod as close to inline with the projector lens as possible (to
prevent distortion) & taking a pic of the screen (flash off of course).
It's slow going but works pretty good imho.

Hey Gang, 

Please forgive me for the O.T. message but I need some help. I have
about 800 35mm color slides that I made in the early 60's when I was in
Vietnam. Just out of the blue yesterday one of my old military buddies,
that I had not seen, or heard from, since the war called me and we had a
great visit.

He is sending me a CD with all of the pictures he took during the war
that he has had converted to .jpg files and put them on a CD. He ask me
for a copy of my pictures. I have been all over this town I live in and
no one had a 35mm viewer or a 35mm scanner.

Does anyone have a viewer and a scanner that they would be willing to
sell me so I can transfer my pictures to a CD before the slide film
disintegrates?

Sorry to bother everyone,

Paul
