That set has been modified. It originally was a 25" Star System (1980) with no flat glass; just bare convex standard tube. I'm very familiar with that set, as I worked for a Magnavox factory repair shop in the late 80s. It's a T995 chassis. Somebody either mounted a piece of dark plastic over the original screen, or it's been removed and a flat panel set installed. I suspect the dark plastic though, based on the original tuner control still being there.
