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.
Why would you not file an insurance claim and have the insurance company either replace the damaged components or contract out to a company that specialized in electronic remediation?
If you attempt the rectify the situation yourself, you may jeopardize your ability to file a claim at a later date because the insurance adjuster may not be able to differentiate between the fire damage and the damage caused by your failed attempt i.e. you made it worse.
File a claim and have the damage on record and don't attempt any repairs etc. until the insurance company has assessed the damage.
