Tom,
Some of these old power supplies do not like to run into an open load. Let's wait to hear from the power supply experts before trying anything else.
From the smoke and flash, I'd guess you will be replacing the big electrolytic capacitors. They would have blown sooner or later.
Power supplies can be fixed. Try to hang in there. One day (in the future) you will be laughing as you tell of this adventure.
