The 1 ohm (or similar) surge resistor burned open because of the capacitor. I can see it in the photo, next to the output toroid. This has all been discussed multiple times, I strongly suggest you go back and read the previous posts on using these devices. You need to replace the resistor with a standard 1/2W or 1W approximately 1 to 3 ohms. I also recommend using a smaller cap than 550uF. I've never attempted to power one of these with such a large filter. Again, discussed previously within the last month or so...
