Radios kept in a damp shed or garage will eventually rust even though steel parts may have been plated or painted from new.

This was kept in a garage for 30 years, and to be honest I’m not sure how well Sheltered that garage was. In bottom of the case It was full of dead insects, bits of leaf and sycamore seeds. It survived very well considering. Some delamination of ply and veneer here and there, but mostly in unseen places. All glued back down no problem. And no woodworm thankfully!
