UPDATE: No joy on replacing the resistor pack. Now I'll need to go through each of the caps as suggested. Stay tuned....

Not a promising sign. :(

When you replaced the partly melted socket, was there any damage to the board underneath? I'm wondering if possibly a trace might have been burnt.

Possible. I'll take a look tonight when I get home.

UPDATE:

Didn't see any damage. I guess you can take a look at the back of the board in the previous post that has images.
