Ampeg SVT 3 - poof

Does anyone know if my Ampeg SVT 3 is worth repairing? In the middle of rehearsal, it went “poof”. Lights in the room flashed, smelled that electronic smoke....
Here’s pic with the lid off:

Thanks!
 
Looks like something blew up, eh? Assuming you meant the SVT 3 Nonpro and not the SVT 3 Pro, it'll certainly be easier to fix than to find another one, as not many were made. I've never played one but a lot of folks really like it.
