Damaged Peavey PV2600

Last night one of my PV2600 amps made all the noises a bowl of Rice Krispies should and sent up a cloud of smoke. Poor thing is obviously confused as it was Halloween not fireworks night.
After it's little show it no longer works but I don't know what happened, seems to be a load of gunk amongst each set of the big black capacitors.
Answers on a post card please!
Thankfully this is not the one I have for sale, which was safely at home.
