Thanks to all who responded for their sympathy and kind words.
I've been dawdling slowly towards getting things back together. The basement has bee cleared out in preparation for painting and now I have a garage chock-full of everything. I really need to get off my but on this or I'll have no place to put my car when it snows, which could be any moment now.
The speakers are piled up in the garage and I have yet to test the ones that did not sustain cabinet damage. I have hopes for the Maggies because of their appearance and construction. The Tympanis (1D's) have already survived one flood at their previous owners house.
If anyone can give me a local (Detroit) recommendation for someone who can build/rebuild/repair my damaged cabinets, and hopefully make me a plinth for my Thorens TD-125 at a reasonable price I'd like to hear about it,
To close on a happy note, two of my V-Fet amps were submerged in the flood, When I saw them covered in gook I hosed them out as I started the first cleaning of the walls and floor. Expecting a total loss I dried them out and eventually sent them to Morrell Electronics in Farmington, There they were taken apart and all the boards, connections, and switches cleaned.
Note to EchoWars, he really admired your custom power supply mounting.
I've yet to test them but he assures me that they are A-OK and working up to spec. As a bonus, the 50W amp, which had only one channel working before (and being used as a center channel) turned out to have some small issue in the input side rather than dead V-Fets. He fixed it and now I have 8 channels of V-Fet power (2x100 and 6x50) rather than 7. HUZZAH!!!!!!!!!!!
