Was I right in thinking you have one of those exact Ross 17" lenses laying around?

You happened to post about these epidiascopes just a couple months ago! I missed it until yesterday while deep in a google rabbit hole for this project.

No, my lenses are from the lower turrets on one of these machines. 10 inch f2.8 and 7.5 inch f2.5, they were probably the MF diaprojection glass. I've seen the Ross 17" and similar up on Ebay a few times, but was not attracted as I was still pursuing the focal reducer route for my large coverage projection lenses.

I'm inclined to have stab at this "screen" route, but the thing shown in the video is just not practical for field use. The kit would have to be something that I could actually carry and use, not a proof of concept that would never leave the house. Even the banquet camera idea is really pushing it for portability.
