That's bad news... Must have been quite a fire to stop you going back for the vintage synths ! Without seeing the P3 in question, I cant really say how likely it is to survive. It depends on the type and amount of contamination that has reached the circuit boards. How bad does the outside look ? There are no production chassis left any longer, but it may be possible to do a Schaeffer panel and DIY rear enclosure.
