I have seen one demonstrated at an ETF convention and the picture was surprisingly good.
Listen to the video on the ETF Col-R-Tel page and you will get a nice description of how it works. Quite ingenious. The interface box picks off the color information from the signal and then makes the TV show the red information when the red part of the wheel is in front of the CRT, and so on. So you are viewing "real" color TV using a black and white receiver plus this gizmo.
Even though it's missing the electronics, this could make a cool display item for someone interested in early color.
