Power Wedge 114 - Voltage Spike Damage

A section of my venerable Power Wedge 114 has apparently been fried by some unprecedented voltage spikes that lasted 4-5 days.  It's only the near-middle "ISO" outlets that are dead.  The other sections are fine.  The slo-blo fuses look good, and I switched them to make sure.  The reset hasn't fixed it.
Thoughts?  Suggestions?

Looks like there are 4 transformers inside. One or more may have been damaged. The units are not too expensive. As the unit has been compromised protecting your equipment,  I would recommend replacement with a new one for safety reasons.

Thanks, I guess it's now an unsafe Power Wedge 112.  ;)
I'll start investigating other options ASAP.  The 114 saved the expensive stuff.  That's why we use these things.

Ancient things usually give out sooner or later. I know part of my Power Wedge did.  
Junk it.
