Infrared paint strippers are based on technology out of Scandinavia and are wonderful. They have come down in price but are still expensive. You should be able to rent and the handsfree attachments you want at a good tool store or equipment rental yard. You can most certainly rent them online.
They are safe, fast and easy to use and make short work of stripping layers of paint from clapboards and such.

You will need to buy quality, SHARP scrapers to go with the tool and your detail sander will still come in handy at corners, window trim and so forth.
Do be careful on that house of yours whatever you use. Given its vintage, you probably have lead in the paint. Don't draw attention to yourself sending it airborne with a sander. Make sure you are wearing protective clothing.
