I have an original (black) Mac TV and am wondering if there is any collectors value to it?

Well, it is a collector's item (only 10,000 made), and very difficult to find, but with it's limited capabilities, upgrade options, and lack of speed, you would proably be lucky to get $300 for it.

 I could use the Power Supply from it.
Mine died. 
...And, I was told it would cost $300-400 to fix it, mostly in labor charges, because they can't get just the power supply, it comes with the case, and the case would be beige, and switching to keep the black case is a pain, etc. etc. 
I was going to send it with my son to college this fall, so he'd have a usable word processor, and a TV in his room, as well as a marginally useful connection to the internet. Oh well!

Ya gotta applaud those bunnies for sacrificing their hearing just so some guy in Yonkers can have better TV reception.

If I were you, I'd just hold onto the MacTV for good luck and any emotional value you might have attached to it. I suppose it can be best described as a concept product that made it into production. I also believe it was the first time that Apple ever attached a TV tuner and a remote control unit to a Mac. After the MacTV they consolidated the concept into a video packaged that appeared on many older 5xx series LCs and Performas all they way up through the PowerMac 6500, and then the concept kind of faded away.
Keep it and enjoy it. I'm glad to hear that a few are still out there and useable.

Let's get our config facts straight when we go into a forum.
For the record, the MacTV was a 68030 running at 32Mhz. If somebody is running a web cam with a IIci, then in theory they can run a web cam easily on the Mac TV baring any limitations in ports or connectivity. It has an LCPDS slot so it should be able to accomidate a basic 10baseT ethernet card. This computer can do a little bit more than what you just said. If somebody wants to try to do a web cam with it, more power to them.
