No bombs in the bunker by definition - it was an old bomb shelter.
What happened was apparently a slow burn in one of the rooms that smouldered and filled the whole bunker with smoke gas, which is basically air saturated with acid from the fire the same way air at 100% humidity would normally be saturated with water vapour. The mixture was ignited by a spark at some point and blew out all the doors and a couple of walls, and as the fire was extinguished and the air cooled, the acid condensed onto every device in air contact and ate away. You can see where there used to be rubber key tips in the Clavinet that are just gone, same as the coils in the Hammond.

Attached photos are some of the carnage from the 2015 fire...
Holy s***
Did you manage to get the Hammond and Clavinet repaired and “back to work”?

Re: So, what's your studio space like?
As you can see from the photo of the M3 generator, there was zero point in even trying. Everything in that room that wasn’t cased up was destroyed by the acid in the air. Literally the only thing I pulled out of there that wasn’t in an airtight case was the Rhodes pedal (and it still smells after an hour of scrubbing the metal). Everything else, the cleanup troops carted off and disposed of safely.
Even under the hood of the Rhodes, all the tines were oxidised and would have needed full replacement. The keys’ wood was drenched in acrid smoke, as was the case.
The Clavinet, as you can see, would have required entirely new mechanics, new strings, probably a new harp, pickups, and amp — i.e., the whole thing. The wood was drenched in acid and smoke.
I just moved on.
I’m sorry about the loss of history. Those were good instruments that are no longer available to the world.
