Here in the UK Bowens used to sell a rib called the Illumitran for
copying slides.It comprised a lightbox with a built in flash plus
focusing light ,a filter drawer,a stand to hold the bellows ,lens and
camera.
Ive still got mine ,it works and is now over 20 years old.
Later versions had a device fitted which I believe was to pre flash film
to control contrast,I dont know exactly how it workrd as Id already
evolved my own technique which was easily repeatable and |I try to work
on the basis of if it is not broken it does not need fixing.
