That's what I thought but it turns out that the Telstars don't actually have a screen cover. The bare glass of the CRT face is exposed with a green plastic wrap around the outside. Looks convincing at a distance but up close it becomes obvious. They used modern color CRTs with a bonded safety glass so it's not really necessary to have extra implosion protection.

The 17" Predicta covers are definitely made from something other than Tenite. Don't know what it's for sure, but it's far superior. No clouding, warping or odor what so ever.
