Unfortunately it's not a closet queen. Every screw slot that we can see has been buggered by previous owners with the wrong size screwdriver and little care to what was happening when they did the deed. There are other issues as well but I'll refrain from enumerating them here.
I don't mean to be hard on you but neither do I believe in keeping quiet when the truth needs to be told.
So this is your first Parker... there will be more and hopefully you'll ask advice here before you pounce on the next one.
I still have two mistakes I made in my earliest years of this Parkeritis affliction most of us have. I'll never be able to sell those two and they'll sit in the back corner of my safe as constant reminders to myself that I didn't take necessary precautions before I made the leap on them.
