My #@%$ Cat Destroyed My ARC REF 5SE. Soliciting Suggestions.

(Public service announcement-keep your pets away from your audio equipment)

I love my cat. But not as much as I once did :-)
The short story is cat pee corroded the main board to my ARC REF 5SE. 

Homeowners insurance doesn't cover repair or replacement because owning a pet means you assume liability/responsibility. Ironically, or strangely enough, If my neighbor's cat or dog did this, I could collect.

My options-
Repair it. Fixing it will cost 7K. The main board alone is 6K.
Buy a pre-owned replacement at close to similar price. And if I go pre-owned, what's the market on a REF 5SE with a destroyed main board.
Go in a different direction.

What would you do?

TIA,
David

The next great discovery in all human history after fire and scripture technology, would be the discovery of the consciousness of living entity.... More profund discovery than even the link with extraterestrials...

My 5 cents....

Cats thinks without solving equations tough and dont do speech ....

Last time i dared to answer you today, you seemed genuinely surprized and outraged by my response.... And i guess you will be also now.... But think a bit about it and you will understand....
