Subject: Need help with 1000 RL power supply

A friend of mine has a Tandy 1000 RL that fried it's power
supply. Actually, it fried the first resister in from the
AC power, which is where other power supplies that I have
seen appear to have a fuse. I've tried to identify this
resistor, but it is too charred to read off the values,
although it looks like a 1/4 watt, and the first band is orange.

I've tried calling local stores, but they want me
to come in and order the service manual for $50. I went to
one store, and they directed me to the "local" (about 40
miles away) consumer service center. Calling the service
center was no help: They directed me back to the store.
I've called National parts (thanks to this group for the
number, the stores wouldn't give it to me), but they said
that the parts ID lady was about a week behind.

Can anyone help here? Ideally, I'd like a schematic of
the supply, but I'd settle for the resistor value.
(Nobody that I talked to in Radio Shack was willing to
fax or mail me a copy of the schematic unless I bought
the entire 1000 RL manual). My friend and I would be
VERY appreciative!

Thanks,
