A decent resolution would be nice but as th itle says my budget is
very tight these days.

I would suggest you hunt down a used Minolta Scan Multi. Resolution
wasn't very high (2800 IIR), but a real trooper of a scanner.

Or a used Nikon 8000. Although these are not sold very often used.

I have a new (last year) Nikon 9000 and it is very good.
