I also would offer to repair it for parts cost only, but also live in the USA. It appears the rectifier was damaged. The capacitors should not be damaged. If so, it would be the first time in 40 years I experienced an arc (transient) puncturing the filter capacitor(s) insulation from shorting a power supply of such little current capacity.

With equipment as old as it is, unless previously replaced, the power supply filter caps should be replaced anyways.

Many experts on this site should be able to guide you through the repairs.
