Transferring film slides ontoa PC/CD

Hiya - please be gentle as this is my first real post!
Hope someone can help. Have a load of slides - at least a thousand - that I want to transfer onto CD. I did have an adaptor for an old scanner, but tried it out and the results were the same as taking a photo of someone holding up a slide!
The photostore charges around 50p a go, so that's out of the question.
Have seen something by Canon, but at over £500!
Any ideas?
Thanks

You could remove the frame and scan them as if they were 35mm film using a holder for 35mm that comes with some scanners(not £500)0

Somewhere at 25p a slide http://www.slidescan4u.co.uk/
Another forum thread which might have some leads http://forums.dvdoctor.net/showthread.php?t=28197
A reasonable (although used) one at Amazon http://www.amazon.co.uk/exec/obidos/ASIN/B00007KKRW/ref=br_lf_ce_6/203-4954468-3735964
Some of the newer Canon and Epson (Perfection) scanners have had good reviews - not used one myself though.0 -
These produce excellent results.. (far better than a flatbed will ever do)

It will take a while to scan 1000 though, and you will need more than one CD
