I would have done exactly the same. They look great in black and I bought one a couple of years back. Pretty nice playing radios as well.
Ive never actually gotten the available colors strait in my mind. There is some variation with what we read here vs what Radio Museum says about colors. Im guessing perhaps RM has the two model years flip flopped so far as available colors. But its not all that critical. For me black is "natural" for the case.
Nice work on yours and youll find visitors that look at your radios will be drawn to it..its a charmer for a lot of eyes.
