€  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.
