It needs to be somewhat larger than the diagonal, so about 18-20 inches, and have a total focal length of around 15 to 25inches. The light - 750 to 1000 watt would be good - and the other bits are all doable, if rather large (fridge sized). The slide changing mechanism would make a nice woodworking project for an afternoon. A plywood box with a number of good sized fans from an electronics shop would finish it off. Then get those 11x14 slides mounted :-) and you're set! -- * Henning J.
