Fred;
  It looks like the front panel is still original, but that someone stripped and clear coated the top and sides. This isn't too surprising since the original shading lacquer has a habit of flaking off, I believe that the top, sides, front moldings, and the base were originally extra dark walnut, or something similar, if the 1936 model 116B is anything to go by. There is a picture of a 1935 model 16B, Ron's set, that is in the banner above this page actually.
Regards
Arran
