I'm not familiar with this particular set, but I believe X-ray radiation is generally less a danger with B/W sets than with color, since the HV is not so high. Another purpose of the HV cage is just to keep people's fingers away from what it contains.
If you're not trying to create a museum-quality reproduction, it's not hard to fashion some kind of metal box to replace a missing HV cage. A cheap source of material is old aluminum cake pans from a thrift store. The metal's soft and easy to work with hand tools, which is all I have. You can also buy sheet aluminum or brass from a hobby store.
