I really want to conquer a commodore 64. You'd think that the highest selling computer of all time would be easier to find for free. Maybe it's just not my time yet.
What kind of video output does that thing have?

It's got a composite video output, so hooking it up to a 1702 is just a matter of getting an RCA cable/connector, and hooking it up. You'll also want to hook up audio, too, for a complete VIC multimedia experience. 🙂
Don't be overwhelmed by the mighty 3.5kB of RAM! How will you ever fill it all up? 🙂

Now get yourself a 300 baud VICModem.

To hook my C64 to a TV I had to use an RF modulator, it didn't work straight up. I think those old monitors had modulators built in or something because you didn't need one to use them.

Actually, that port is RF modulated. The "modulator" in your case is just an adapter from the F connector to RCA.

is it 75 ohm, or 300 ohm?

75. What you need is a "game switchbox" from radio shack to use it.

You'll need to find a cable to use it with the 1702. Damn, that 1702 is a sweet monitor. I remember back in the day even us hardcore Atari guys used to all have Commodore monitors. It was the only thing we would give Commodore any credit for.
