Default Fixing fried TCM

Has anyone ever done any repairs to the TCM? How bad does it look?? I had it replaced a couple of years ago but I kept the broken one and now out of curiosity just opened it to see how it looks like and actually it doesn't look that bad and the damage is pretty obvious what needs to be replaced. Thoughs?

the 2nd is a blown cap, easily replaced. Can't really tell the damage in the 1st one till it gets cleaned up.

I would clean it up and replace all 3 of the big e caps on the board. The question then is what the failing caps might have taken with them: in the picture the one transistor sorta in the middle of the board looks like it may have fried but it could just be stray goop
