Unable to travel very far into the past, thus unable to return to 1973, Saunders and Hull go forward to 2500 AD, hoping that by then someone will have solved the problem of pastward travel. Hull is killed but Saunders escapes to 3000 AD.
Could Saunders, instead of going so far forward, have travelled back to the short period between their arrival in 2500 AD and Hull being shot? Could he then have warned his younger self and Hull to travel forward immediately? If this was possible, then Saunders would have disappeared forever from timeline 1 but saved Hull and duplicated both himself and the time projector in timeline 2.

Kaor, Paul!
One of the implications Anderson did not think of, I believe, till you suggested it to him.
