Congrats on a nice find! I realize I'm a bit late to this, but I wanted to mention that at last weekend's California Pen Show, Syd Saperstein had hauled a tableful of Wahl desk sets to sell, and I know he mentioned more at home. If you are looking for a source for an appropriate base, he would be worth contacting.
Cheers, Jon
