the mkh20's are ok, tey continues in s=EDlica for more time before other
testing. the sound devices 788t needs services. After talking with the
support, and explain that the machine didn't dropped completely in the
water, only the inputs and outputs seems with issues, the mainboard of
the record is ok, they told me that are some cases like mine with a
success repair. the Portabrace protected the machine in 90%
thanks all for your invaluable comments and suggestions.
