    The first patent for a TV camera was filed in 1927 - but the first modern changeable television receiver wasn't invented until 1948. So it wasn't until 1948 that TV cameras would have been available to be purchased, so no prices are available to give you. That might be why you are having trouble getting an answer to your question.

    If you weren't inventing or working on this invention they weren't available - prototypes aren't usually priced. I know that experimental TV was being worked on throughout the 1930's, but a commercially available TV camera just wasn't on the market.

    As a guess - I'd estimate around $3000 or so - the amount needed to buy a small house.
