   I found some info on the Revere Model 153 Power Zoom:

   This is presumed to be a 1962 model, oddly 2 years after Revere ceased to exist as an independent brand.

   This model sold for $168, equivalent to $1700 today. According to the US Census, family income averaged to about $6000 in 1962, making this minimalist movie camera affordable for the middle class.
