Looking like a 2nd hand:

Nikon CoolScan IV ED

is the only one in my price bracket. Anyone had any experience of that
particular model?

I have had one for a long time, ever since they came out. It's
excellent for this purpose.

Comes with a semi-automated holder that feeds in a strip of 5
negatives. You need to scan each manually, but it speeds up the
loading and pre-scan (to see what it is).

Also has another manual holder that will hold negatives or slides.
Either a strip or individual negs.

In both cases, the scanning of negatives WILL take a lot of time.
However, the results will be the best you can get out of such sources.
