It is available on 16mm, as it was in many rental packages for use in libraries and shown on college campuses, etc, as well as on television. The beat-up looking public domain copies we see now are likely transfers from those old prints.
As far as finding one, you will have to spend some serious cash for that. You may get lucky and find an "as is" copy on ebay, but EVERY film print I have ever purchased at auction like that has been damaged or faded. I purchase all of my films from other collectors now, and list price of a fairly well known film like this would be on the order of $300-500 dollars, and you will certainly pay more if you put out a request for such an item.
I believe the full-length film was also available in super 8 sound as well, which would run something like $150, and be pretty cheap to ship.
Check out Derann film services in the UK. It says something about their quality of service that I don't mind dealing with international shipping as all of their products are completely as described.
