A side view to show the orientation of the next pictures:



Zoomed in on the location of the rectifier circuit and three resistors including the bottom burned out one:



The burned out resistor:

The color band goes from left to right in the photo below. In-case another unit's resistor is oriented opposite, the color band ends with the color that is slightly separated, ie. gold for the top resistor. The gold band is often silver and shows the precision of the resistor.
Eg: The top resistor has the colors: Brown, Green, Black, Orange, and precision Gold.
