Disaster

While I am in the hospital recovering from a hip operation, my wife tells there was a fire in my music room and all the components are covered in soot.
Does anyone know if equipment is recoverable after being covered by soot?
This is a vintage system with many modifications and can't be replaced

check for water or foam damage from attempts to put out the fire too

the real question is whether the ins. co. will pay willingly for repair, which will likely be more costly than replacement for a vintage system that ir irreplaceable - I hope you have an uncle who is a lawyer

can you post a list of what the gear is?
