Skucie......I had a house fire in January. fortunately for me it was a home I had moved from a few years back and expected to move back there in the near future. Most of my personal gear was with me so the loss of personal effects was minimal. I was told that all electronics should be scraped as the smoke will have a deteriorating effect. I had an old pair of Altec model 1's(great speakers by the way). I brought them home and put them in the garage. they are playing playing good but I'm not sure the electronics will make it. It is probably best to take the insurance money and start over. Sorry for your loss.....that sucks.
P.S. I'm rebuilding and planning a music room for myself. silver lining and all of that!
