I need an RF modulator
I need maybe even more than one. They seem to give out quickly. Paypal.
I assume you're talking about a VIC RF modulator. The Cincinnati Commodore Computer Club has them for 1.50 + shipping.

I have a couple of original VIC modulators here I could sell for 2$ apiece but I also saw a cheap "external" modulator for 12$ at Addisson.
I never managed to kill one of these things. You must have accomplished some exploit or you have a serious grounding problem.
The external is a new piece of equipment with its own 120v internal supply. It works with anything, not just the VIC.

I don't see any reason for using one, unless you have a really old TV without any video input...

Most of the time, the AV cable for the 64 has an 8 pin DIN conector which will not fit on a VIC.
A VIC AV cable almost always fits on a 64 but the opposite is usually not true.
I just made a VIC AV cable for a friend using a cheap 5 pin DIN connector you can buy at The Source and 2 RCA jacks. The VIC original manual will tell you the proper pinout. It is also in the VIC20 Programmer's reference guide.

I think the biggest difference lies in if it is an original or CR revision. The video chip however doesn't matter. Recently I tried to swap a 6561-101 and a 6561E, but the colours and stripes on screen were the same when used in the same motherboard (but not existing on the other type of motherboard). Probably it is the surrounding components that make the difference.
