Hi Top,
I am not near you, hope you can find a restorer. Nice cat in the pics.
I don't know if you know, but this set has photo finish or faux wood grain around the dial. Pic IMG_1413a shows it well. So, if you find a refinisher make certain that he does not try and strip that area. UNderneath photo finish is a cheaper wood, that does not look good, nor will take a stain well. Yours appears to be in good shape, so it will be worth trying to save.
Chassis looks a little rusty, I have een worse, and underside of the chassis looks like no one has messed up anything. so that's good.
Good luck on the resto of your set.
Gary.
