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

Wishing you a speedy recovery.  I too have been recovering from recent surgery. Can't wait to get back to my system.  Very very soon I am told yeah and hallelujah.
Sorry no knowledge of about soot.

I suspect each item can be replaced with time-consuming searches and then re-modified.

Back to cleaning - some firm cleans museum pieces after fires cause soot, water & foam damage, so it should  not be impossible.

A thorough inspection will be needed.

Good Luck!
