Wanted: Cheap video camera

I'm looking for a cheap video camera, possibly even your old broken one that
doesn't record well anymore.

I'm working on an art project which requires that, while adjusting various
parts of the installation, I be able to see what the whole room looks like
from a very specific location and angle.  At present I go and stand there,
then return and make a small adjustment, then go and have another look, then
return for another small adjustment, etc.  This is very time-consuming and
annoying.

So, a camera which mounts on a tripod and which has output that I can display
live on a television or monitor would be most helpful.  No need to record--if
you've got an old camera which produces lousy tapes (but has live output and
can be tripod-mounted), sell it to me!  Sell me your old, nasty tripod, too!
Not that I necessarily *want* equipment in bad condition, but since it would
serve my needs nonetheless, I figured I might be able to take it off someone's
hands and do us both a favor.  Anyone?
