The Black CY-979B cabinets aren't that rare, I had one, have seen several  
others, including one at a friends a few months back, one sold recently on E-Bay 
 for $800! Mac had several for sale a few years back.

intelligence-agency-black milspec CY-979A, the only new black one I have  
ever seen."
- In the last couple of years, a number of new  CY-979A cabinets were 
available from Mac McCullough.  It is not clear  if any of those were 
black.  It has been reported that those cabinets  came from a military 
source.  The three at this location appear to be  genuine military equipment 
and arrived in new condition.
- The  front panel of the radio recently shipped to Dr. Robbins is black 
satin  powder coat and would not match a shiny finished  cabinet.
