If you're so inclined, check the edges (and undersides) of all the PCBs internally. If that doesn't work, just program one or manually set it on the interface. With a few rare exceptions you can use the same mac address on multiple physical interfaces in the same device. (eg: 6500 has one mac address even if you have hundreds of IP ports).
Already took it apart and looked on both sides of the motherboard but I didn't think to check the edges. I've never seen anything printed on the edge of a PCB before as the surface of the edge tends to be rougher than the top or bottom surfaces.
I would take the mac address of some device on the other side of the world, or another 1720 that would not be placed on the same lan and just clone that one, or the mac of the bluetooth interface on some other machine that will not be speaking ethernet :)
I did make up a random mac though I'm not sure if certain bits must be turned on or off.
