I remember there being a device available some years back that was essentially a little video camera with a slide stage that would plug into the RF antenna terminals of a television set. Probably long gone by now!
There are darn few slide projectors available new in the world today. Most get hot fast because they're designed to project across a room to an audience of 5 to several dozen people. Even the digital ones (take digital input in, output projected image) get hot… I remember also there used to be back-projection slide viewers that would enlarge a slide to about a 5x7" image for viewing. Haven't seen one of those new in thirty years or more… Oops, spoke too fast. Dot line sells one of those still, Sears has it: http://www.sears.com/dot-line-automatic-slide-viewer/p-SPM9197186917?sid=IDx20140425xECNMPTV27&sdc_id=1440614236z235025z54073b0a680zzz Probably the best thing to do is just scan all your slides quickly, for review, and then look at them large on your computer screen. Then go back and re-scan at full resolution all the keepers for further processing/printing. Use a DSLR copy setup to do that or a slide scanner … whatever is faster. This is what I do nowadays rather than hunching over a lightbox with a magnifier for hours. I mostly use a film scanner; my big one will take 12 at a time and I can have it do a "review quality scan" in about 5 minutes per 12 slides.
