Mono or color? Mono screens don't have `pixels' as such, where triad masked
color ones do. If a particle of trash (present in all vacuum tubes) falls and
lodges in a hole in the mask, you can lose a triad of three color dots, and
hence see a black dot on the screen.
A word of advise: Never transport any CRT face down, and especially not a
color one.
