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

But how do you replace thousands of LP's or a vintage stereo system?
Who cares, especially when you factor in the fact that no one was hurt or killed in the fire. LPs and stereo equipment are just "stuff" that can be replaced.  Consider yourself lucky.
OUCH(I feel your pain)!   Best wishes on a fast recovery and complete system restoration.

excellent advice from the panel. Contact your Insurance agent to file a claim. Hopefully, it is faulty home wiring or something along those lines.
Seek out a specialist to clean your gear prior to any further listening.

Have a speedy recovery and Get Well Soon!
The insurance company is working on it and there is a company that restores electrical equipment with smoke damage on it too.
thanks for your good wishes.
