?  The toasted BS contacts can be removed by drilling out the rivets.  New 
contacts can be fastened in with #0-80 screws.  If the 10m and/or 15m contacts 
are burned, the most likely cause was an intermittent parasite.  To prevent an 
encore, decrease the Q of the VHF parasitic suppressors.

?  There is an adequate breakdown-V safety factor considering the anode-V used 
in the 201.

?  I can e-mail you a JPG of the diagram if you want.
