Testing and pricing a used Modulus 3000 wireless video transmitter

21 years old. Gear and prices may have changed since.

What the thread found

  • A Modulus 3000 can be tested by supplying 12V power through one of its cables and feeding a video signal from a camcorder, then observing the transmission on a television receiver to verify functionality.
  • A used Modulus 3000 in unknown working condition is estimated at approximately $500, but can reach $1000-$1200 if verified to be in good working order.
  • New Modulus 3000 units were priced around $1900 at the time of discussion, with additional costs for specialized cables.
  • The equipment is unsuitable for use in the United States but may be legal and marketable in other regions such as Japan.

Depends on

  • Pricing estimates are from 2005 and may not reflect current market values.
  • The device's power supply is region-specific and a US unit does not function with Japanese electrical standards.
  • Verification of working condition is difficult without access to proper testing facilities or compatible power equipment in the region where the seller is located.
  • The estimate that a $500 baseline could be justified depends on actual condition and functionality verification.
