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?

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

Yep I'm ancient and I'm giving out too.  What do I replace it with?  Recommendations are welcomed.

Any advice on a replacement?  Tice?  Panamax?  I'm a listener, not a tech guy.  Thanks!

Might be time to dump it as its ancient history then move on.

Same thing happened to my Power Wedge many years ago (faulty power company transformer).  Its still sitting in the closet alongside my Tice unit that was blown at the same time.  Please post if you repair it economically, I hate to throw them out.
