Well, please try to find out why the voltage divider failed. It is statically more likely that a capacitor was at fault rather than a segment of the resistor element , but heat, ets.. could present a difficult diagnosis. It is well known that excessive temperature could compromise the insulation of candohms to the point of arcing to chassis. Artifacts are sometimes difficult to detect, even with a sharp eye. An approximation of the needs downstream of the voltage divider should give an idea of replacement values, to be mounted as close to original position as possible, and heat sinked to chassis for the first stage or two. Of course, a suitable ammeter should be used whils powering up the supposed fix to see if current is sinking elsewhere.
