This is what it looks like. Difficult.

Len,

Your link is originally taken from an ebay listing more than a years ago. Here is the original listing:

Calvin 53 8MM Sound Movie Projector Does 2200' Reels .

It was sold for $199

(ps: unbelievable that we can still read a listing that has expired more than a year. Isn't that usually only 90 days??)

You can read about this projector in this forum, and indeed it is hard to find projector.

Ultimate Standard 8mm projector

And our expert in this forum (the late) John Black mentioned this projector as:

quote:
A rare machine with a larger reel capacity is the Calvin Movie Sound 8 which takes a DDB bulb but it very very hard to find.

in this post: Which Is A Good STD 8 Sound Projector?

But recently a member here sold the same projector through Ebay:

CALVIN MOVIE-SOUND 8MM PROJECTOR

it was sold for $250.

So..you may find it somewhere out there.

Good luck ....!
