The duplicating would have to be done in a VM camera so that the images
could be punched out.
I have a couple ideas. First, the Realist image could be projected onto
a screen and The VM camera used to copy, probably stopped down on B
setting. Unfortunately the VM has no double exposure capability, so film
will be waisted recocking, unless a lens cap is carefully used on one
lens at a time. Second, a strong closeup lens (or series of lenses to
make about +10 diopter) could be used on the VM camera to copy the
Realist slide on a light box (don't forget to correct color balance). A
ground glass would be needed to check focus and compose the image in the
back of the VM camera for either method.
