50s 21" monochrome sets like that are among the least valuable of vintage sets. Depending on how much the cabinet was changed/damaged to install it and how easy it is to put back to original and where you are located (these cost more than they are worth to ship so local supply and demand is what sets value) that set is worth $70 at best and at worst will cost $30 to recycle. Odds are if you remove it it will be $10-25 worth of parts to someone.

If you wanted to keep the basement original and restore the set to working condition that's possible.

It's probably from the year the house was built. CRTs got shallower around 1960. Cascode is a circuit topology used in the tuner (other makes and models used it). Serial numbers are not useful in identifying it. Model number or chassis number will ID it. Most makes had 1-3 different chassis in a model year but 10-100 different cabinets and each cabinet got its own model number.
