What are the big black cylinders in the power section? Are those capacitors?

The one all the way on the end closest to the B- power connection is blown out.

I think my precharge resistor circuit may have fried out. Isn't that the issue with NOT having a precharge resistor setup? It puts power into the capacitors too fast?

I'll take a few photos. First, I have to figure out how to take the plexiglass case off. It's hard to photograph through the "magic smoke" that got let out.
