I have never seen one in black. I have the same set but I have never seen that model number. I think it should be a 9VT1. I would not try to rejuvinate that CRT until the set is working and a picture can be observed. It may not need it. When restored, they are good performers and the 8" round screen is surprisingly viewable across an average size livingroom. Does this set use the TS-18 chassis? That RCA phono jack is an obvious add-on. This set may have had some makeshift repairs or mods done to it at some point. This can make restoration more chalenging.
