EBAY!!! :D You could either sell it or buy another and switch out the parts.

Or just keep it as a collector's item despite the video problem.

EDIT: This could be what ur looking for:

it's $60 Buy-It-Now

EDIT 2: then there's a complete system for $300 (outrageous, but in great condition)

I would keep it. Then in like a few years, you could probably sell it for a lot of money...if it's fixed...
