A few years ago we had the need for both RF modulators and demodulators for a
video intercom system.  The systems also used time lapse VCRs which were a
modified commercial VCR.  The company that made them would strip all of the
unnecessary components out of the unit to make room for the time lapse stuff.
They then sold us the modulators and demodulators for about $5-10 apiece.  The
modulators being much less than the demodulators.  It has been over four years
and I don't remember the name of the company but you can check for a similar
one in you area.
