I don't recall what I paid for the Chipper Check interface (still have it), but I seem to recall it was less than $200, but I could be wrong.

Another useful tool was the tuner alignment generator (also required). This is a very cool frequency agile generator that would generate a carrier on any channel in the VHF bands, UHF, and cable bands. It had RCA composite inputs to modulate. The alignment was done by using the generator and a DC voltmeter, although to be honest because it had built in attenuators, I'd align them by eye. A full tuner alignment took 10 minutes which was required if the eeprom was corrupted. Still have that as well.
