Being outside for even a few years is not necessarily the end of a set unless you let it be. I've gotten some hopeless looking outdoor sets to run. All outdoors means is more work to fix it. There are early radio equipment restorers who have taken marconi era sets that have been underwater (on sunken ships) for most of their lives and look like they are encased in concrete from all the effects of being underwater, and made those things back into working radios (somehow). If it is all there and nothing is smashed, then it should be repairable.
