The 4006 can be a UAA4006 (see http://www.datasheetarchive.com/UAA4006-datasheet.html). The typical application example (http://pdf.datasheetarchive.com/datasheetsmain/Datasheets-30/DSA-593994.pdf) shows a BUV45 for the switsching transistor. So i think this can by your power supply! Can you check it?

You can't measure the resistance without unsoldering. The next problem is, all these capacitors have a lower capacity over the time. When this value is too low, the PSU don't work.

So i would change all electrolyte capacitors. But you need low-ESR types on the secondary side!
