Murf;
Those Parmak sets are poorly documented to say the least, I think that this set might be in Riders but in either the 1940 or 41 book, but the set was from from a few years earlier. I would suggest that if it works now, and everything underneath looks more or less original, that as you recap the set put everything back exactly as it was, take lots of pictures of the underside and make lots of notes. If they used lacquer in the refinish you should be able to spray some shading lacquer over the molding and grille bars, just to get rid of that monochrome look that a lot of refinishing shops seem to use, at least they didn't make them blond.
Regards
Arran
