You should be able to find them locally in most cities. =20
Look at Radio Shack, Best Buy, or other stores that carry AV equipment.

$30 ready made, outputs on channel 3. =20
/www.radioshack.com/product/index.jsp?productId=3D2103585
$3 would need some hacking to change plug and add power.

$20 - looks like it might have a DC power input
10 feet should be nothing for this type of device and the image quality =
is probably better than the camera (assuming a low cost camera instead =
of a camcorder quality one).
A big question is power source. Ones designed for home use will =
typically be 120VAC. FM modulators for cars (run on 12 VDC) are very =
common but the Car AV people assume that people will have video displays =
with direct video input.
You can probably convert any of the 120 volt units to DC by going inside =
and finding the AC to DC conversion in it.
The game converter will be running on DC from the game console that is =
in the plug with the video. You would need to discover the voltage and =
wire connections.
If you can find a home oriented unit with a wall transformer, you have =
an easier job since it is probably marked for voltage needed and the =
connection is obvious.
