Hi Mauricio
No apologies needed.
Lacquer is the material originally used on Philco cabinets. Yes, I think it would be safe to say that the only major difference between the tinted lacquer which was the color of medium walnut, and the black lacquer originally used, would have been the coloring - the medium walnut was tinted just enough to give the color of, well, medium walnut; while black lacquer would have had a heavy black pigment in its formulation.
Most likely, given the wide use of lacquers at the time, black lacquer probably was also used on the transformers and other components which were painted black. The trim on a 66B and 60MB cabinet is most certainly black. The main portions of the cabinet, though, are Medium Walnut.
