Your JVC that got hit- I'd say maybe a good chance it could have been fixed with a fuse and a power supply drive transistor.

I agree. Lost lots of stuff that was plugged into the wall, even wall warts. To claim insurance I had to have a technician report on damages for my "big" stuff (including a what is now referred to as a "BPC" Pioneer receiver). So I took all my big stuff to the guy who sold me the JVC. He was a dealer/service guy who did a lot of wedding, editing, and super-8 conversion stuff. He "totalled" everything and gave me the paperwork. I bet he did just what you said and fixed it.
