I got off the track when you said 20 inch tube set. This must be a solid state set with CRT. It likely has decent DC restoration, or you would be noticing the blacks drift up and down due to variations in picture content.

Oh, I meant tube as in CRT, not tube as in vacuum tubes. Yeah, the blacks don't drift much.
Some more interesting info about setup is that in Japan black is indeed 0 IRE (since 1985), even though they have NTSC. I assume this is why the PS2, a system designed primarily for games, wasn't recalibrated to 7.5 for the American market. Why setup was invented, I'm not really sure. It doesn't seem like it does much if at all.
