Boss calls me and said a water line failed and some of my gear got a bath. My spare power amp got it bad. Popped the lid and drained out the water (it wasn't plugged in). I'll let it dry out for a week, cross my fingers, and power it up. My 72 Super Reverb with CTS alnico drivers also got a bath. No water on the cones but the cab and chassis were wet. Particle board and water don't jive. Ripped it apart, pulled the chassis and the reverb tank. The power amp, Super Reverb chassis & tank are sitting on top of a fridge where it's warm. My gut feeling is that they will survive. It's now -23C, that's up twenty degrees. Don't come back Mr. Frost....he never listens to me.

Years ago,while I was out on tour, the AC condensation line from the apartment above my 1st floor unit leaked water into my closet. I returned to a mold festooned closet where a lot of musical equipment had been stored. Fortunately, most everything was in road cases and didn't get bothered. However, I had (still have) a 1967 Bandmaster that was NOT in a road case but just had plastic covers over it. The ambient moisture caused the years of tobacco stains (from years of working in less than smoke free venues) to "bleed" down the grille cloth. I really need to scrub that, one of these days, even though I've not used the amp in years.
Hope your gear dries out and works well, for you.
