I have 2 of the 1702s that I used with CoCo2s and monitor drivers.   
The composite color was always crisp and clean; you could even  
resolve 51 column text nicely under Telewriter.  The kids later (and  
still do from time to time when they come over) used them with their  
game machines.  very well used; the control panel doors were early  
casualties...
