Seems like meteor (and other) video observers the world over would have 
sufficient numbers to justify a bulk purchase from some supplier of these? This 
would definitely reduce the entry cost for this type of observing! Maybe we 
could coordinate a purchase through the IMO or informally over the net?

If the intensifier were cheap enough, I'd be very interested in doing video 
work: I'm sure there are others on the list who feel the same way! How about an 
informal survey of our subscribers: Who would be interested in getting involved 
in serious video meteor observation, if the price were low enough? And how low 
an entry price would you need to be able to do it?
