What's a fair deal on a canon XL1s that's received a lot of use and has worn out heads?
I would have to use another source to actually record sound/video so I would line out to another mini-dv recording device.
How much would you pay for a camera like this?
yikes, sounds like quite a hassle.

I don't get it, are you just stripping it for parts? A camera that doesn't work reliably recording sound and video isn't much of a camera. If you're asking about XL1s used in general, $800-1000 would be a fair price for a fully working one.

A used XL1 with a Firestore drive would be a good rig. I picked up a used Xl1 in good shape for $500.00

Even if it can't record I could still use another camera or something to record on, right?
Mobility isn't much of an issue for the project I'm working on so as long as I can line out a good picture to another mini-dv recording device I'll be happy.

Sounds like it would be great for On Location, recording to a laptop, but not much else. Or a prop :)

What does everybody think would be a fair price for this camera?

$350 to $500. I am basing that on a guess as to how much the lens alone would cost.

Wow that's great.
Any suggestion on a good, cheap mini dv recording device?

A laptop with Adobe Live Studio would likely be cheaper than a FireStore.
