I'm sure they're out there, though how many of them still have a decently strong picture tube is another question. I was lucky to buy mine from the original owner, who most recently had it set up near his treadmill.

I saw your page when looking for info, especially since I wasn't sure about the model number at first. I could see that the 1710 and 1720 looked similar, but wasn't entirely sure how they were related. As for the year, the seller told me that he bought it in 1972, and that's when the above-pictured Burdick's ad was from, so I went with that.
