[time-nuts] New member, new old 4040A with PSU failure

Yes, it looks like the Radial electrolytic capacitor (1000 uF, 15V), next to transformer, 
also received more heat.  Clean board area with isopropyl alcohol.

I would highly suggest you look at the Panasonic EEU FK series (Digi-Key stocks), or other equivalent Panasonic 105° series

I used the EEU-FK series for a 12 year old ESE Master Clock repair this summer (bulging caps in DC filtering section), that used inferior 85° electrolytics imported from East Asia (California shell company).

Have made some progress.
Looks like bad caps. Capacitor "CA" is especially naughty.
