That looks very much like my Star set. The star system set had a direct entry tuner with on screen channel display and a on screen clock. When you changed channel the channel number would fill the screen then shrink to the center of the picture and then disappear. As far as picture control the set used seperate presets for picture prefrences. To change the presets you pull the small silver knobs off the front control panel and then you can use a long thin screwdriver to change the presets. When the star system came out it was indeed state of the art. The original star sets, I don't recall the exact date around 1972 or 1973ish, did not have any tunning controls on the set. You had to have the remote to operate the set. After the first year they added the keypad on the set. 1978 was the last year for the star system. In 1979 they offered their frist inline large screen crt, and completely changed the model lineup. They also changed to ir remote control, and introduced "total automatic color". I think that is what they called it. My 1984 set also works, but as with the star set it had a lot of hours and the crt is weak. It had remote control, but I do not remember any special designation of the set.
