FWIW, a Nikon 4000 or 5000 ED 35mm film scanner seem to be going for $600-1000 on e-bay. An auto loading slide feeder would be several hundred more. The Nikon 9000 ED, 35mm and 120mm are listed for $2500-4500, about x2 the cost of new prior to being discontinued. (I have no experience with the 4-5000 scanners but considering the amount of time, effort, aggravation, etc. needed to scan thousands of slides, you might want to research ease of scanning, output quality etc. vs equipment cost prior to making a decision.
I have both a Nikon 9000 ED and Epson V750 PRO and the Epson does a good job scanning 120mm compared to the Nikon.
