If the tube is a replacement from the early 60s, then this set had one hell of a service life....
I suppose if you spent the $795 on it in 1947 or 1948, you would be inclined to use it until something really major came up.
I think the CRT is from late 1950. It seems RCA didn't use bases with the extra pins after that, unless a electrostatic focused CRT. The only early RCA CRT's that used Electrostatic focus was 7DP4 and the 17GP4.
