Ha, nice hack 🙂
I suppose if you'd perfect this technique a bit you'll get better results than those digitalizer things you linked to above.Have you thought about actually getting a slide projector (maybe sell it on a few weeks later)?
Looking at slides on a big wall is such an amazing experience, most people have forgotten this, it's much nicer than even expensive digital video projectors, the colours are gorgeous..
..plus, you could take a photo with your smartphone of the huge projected image on the wall, this will likely do really well in terms of digitizing the slide as well..

MTB-Idle
The Google & YouTube algorithms have been going crazy and suggesting various ways of doing this to me including a numbers of hacks n bodges and as I had some spare time this afternoon I thought I would give some of them a go.
None of them are good enough for a permanent record and I will eventually stump up some cash for a proper solution but some of these are good enough for sharing with the family on Facebook & Whatsapp etc.
The first effort was inspired by this guy on Youtube
and used an iPad as a light source, a cookie cutter a piece of a cereal box cut into a slide support and a plastic box with a hole in it. The plastic box supports my android phone to keep it stable and the camera focuses through the hole in the box
