I’ve had the 1987 set for over a year, and was used as my main TV, and it works perfect—the picture is so crisp! I remember using this TV to watch videos on in 4th grade!! Is anyone else using this TV as their main set? I’m also quite interested in learning more about the crazy, huge input/output panel on the back of the set. I do have a manual, but it’s not really speaking my language. What is that odd VTR plug on the back, and what exactly is the sync plug? It’s not too often to find older TVs with bass/treble controls.

Also, on the same day I received the 1985 Lyceum on the side of the road, I also found a 1986 RCA Colortrak 2000, model USA1986T—basically identical to the RCA Dimensia FKC2601T. The Lyceum and the Dimensia TVs are definitely cousins. The CT2000/Dimensia is a manual I would LOVE to get my hands on. Is there a PDF out there explaining either of these TVs? I’m dying to know what the Text/Graphics input (output?) is on the back. I guess it’s for a teletext decoder—what exactly is that?

The things that people throw away!

A wonderful site…
