Fried my Amp in Europe (Turkey), is it fixable?

I thought I was it running through a 220 to 110 power converter, apparently it wasn't. Anyways my Fender Deville 2-12 had smoke coming out of after working for a couple hours.

Has anyone had any experience with this issue? Is it fixable? If so, what are the parts I would need?

Anything is fixable. It just depends on how much you want to spend.

The first thing will be the power supply. That cost around $50 - $105. Depending on which one it is.

The next will be the rectifier bridge, and buffering caps. Which is about $10, if the PCB is OK. About $50 if it isn't.

The veracitor will be split in two. That's about $3 - $7.

Form there you have to investigate to see how far the High Voltage made it in to the amp it's self.

So, anywhere from $250 - $450, depending upon labor.
