Finally bought a Tram D201A a while back. It was listed as parts only, but for once the seller wasn't just trying to protect themselves. This thing is trashed.
From the front it doesn't look too bad, although I'm sure D201A aficionados will notice that the meter is slightly offset and a knob is missing.

But once you get inside you see the horror that awaits:

Now, while I can't prove anything, I think this poor radio was left outside for a few years and was rained on. Repeatedly. Also, when shipped, a transformer was left loose inside the radio. I'm really surprised it only smashed one tube.
It's so bad, even part of the veneer is trying to get away:

So, in light of all the damage from time and the elements, I do not think this thing can be revived. It might come back as a frankenradio if I happen to run across a working but cosmetically destroyed radio to put inside. Or get bored.
Or the XYL may get tired of looking at it and throw it away, if she can lift it.
