Here is a bit from the link --

>> but instead of being a general purpose machine attached to a TV, the television itself was the computer. This remarkable new television came in the FKC2600 ebony-finish model and FKC2601 oak-finish model, and was the first TV containing microprocessors capable of external input/output functions. This monitor/receiver was the centerpiece of RCA's new Dimensia home entertainment system, where the TV and all the attached components could communicate with one another in an "intelligent" fashion. <<

These seem to develop bad solder joints in the tuner/control modules if the Dimensias use similar chassis setups to the Lyceum and Colortrak 2000. I have the Lyceum and had to resolder joints inside those modules which are in metal shield boxes to get rid of intermittent noise in the picture.

Is there a link on how to do this or is it a major project that is best left to the pro's?

If you are not familiar with soldering it would probably best be left to someone more experienced....the modules are on the left hand side of the set as you are at the back of it with the cover off. It has been a while but seems like you just pop off the shield covers and resolder the ground connections and anything that looks suspect in there.
