Hanimex Slide Projector

[The Gauge]

Clearing my mother's house and came across my grandads Hanimex slide projector reels and hundreds of slides, but no projector. The box, instructions and remote control/switch are there, but not the projector.

It would be nice to recreate my childhood memories of him projecting his holiday photos onto his living room wall for us all to see, so I could buy one on eBay, but are there any other options for viewing slides without buying the projector?

If they're just snaps, or you only want to see them in that way*, there are cheap slide scanners around but if there are a lot of slides it'll be a long job to scan them all as the cheap ones do one at a time. There are services to do that for you, of course. And there are handheld slide viewers, basically a slide-sized light box with a magnifier, but that's really for individual viewing. Plenty of slide projectors on car boot sales and recycling groups on Facebook for probably a lot less than you'd pay for postage on eBay - I've acquired a few as I buy boxes of random slides in case there's anything good** in them and they sometimes have a projector in the box.
